| Warning | |
| Comment | Martel, "On the Origin of Hockey" points out that in Canada and elsewhere, "shinty" referred to what would be labeled today ice hockey. Essentially in the early 1800s shinty was a generic term for field or ice hockey games--though field is clearly referred to in the sources above. Edit with form to add a comment |
