When Hockey Was First Played in the USHockey was first played in the united states around the mid 1910s when minor league farm teams like portland(Oregon),seattle,tacoma and Salem(Oregon)would try to get players from British Columbia or Alberta that were talented but not so for the nhl. when the American kids started watching these guys check,score into high traffic areas and make glove saves they were in awe and amazement. by the end of the 1920s hockey started to become more popular in cities that get very cold in the wintertime like Chicago,Detroit,Boston,Minneapolis,New York City,providence and warwick,r.i., portland,Maine and pretty much all of the upper east coast and Midwest including Colorado!

In fact there was more than just one American team in the beginning.

this is because the original six consisted of the Toronto Maple leafs( became a member of the NHL in 1917), the Motreal Canadiens( founded in 1909, became a member of the NHL in 1917), Boston Bruins( founded in 1924), Ney York Rangers( Founded in 1925), and the Detroit Red Wings and Chicago Blackhawks( both founded in 1926)

No one knows for sure. Many speculate, however, that hockey was originally concieved in either Nova Scotia (or any of those maritime provinces) or at McGill University in Montreal in the late 1800s. There is no definite answer, though.

There have also been found ancient drawings on walls of caves and on rock faces that depict people hitting a ball with a curved stick. Such pictures date back as far as 4000 years in Egypt.
