If your talking about field hockey then I'm your man. Women's hockey developed separately from men's hockey. Women do not seem to have played hockey widely before the modern era. Women's hockey was first played at British Universities and schools, and the first club, Molesey Ladies Hockey Club, was founded in 1887. The first national association was the Irish Ladies Hockey Union in 1894, and though rebuffed by the Hockey Association, women's hockey grew rapidly around the world. This led to the formation of the International Federation of Women's Hockey Associations (IFWHA) in 1927, though this did not include initially many continental European countries where women played as sections of men's associations and were affiliated to the FIH. The IFWHA held conferences every three years, and the tournaments associated with these were the primary IFWHA competitions. These tournaments were non-competitive until 1975.

Montreal Canadiens, Montreal Wanderers, Ottawa Senators, Quebec Bulldogs, and Toronto (no name, often called the Arenas).
Those were the five charter members of the league in 1917. All except the Toronto franchise had existed in the NHA. The NHL was created to get rid of Toronto Blueshirts owner Eddie Livingstone. So the other owners created a new league with a new Toronto team (they eventually became the Maple Leafs).
Quebec sat out the first two years and began playing in 1919. The Montreal Wanderers folded after 6 games because their home arena burnt down.
