It’s incredible that my family would buy shoes at Bauereis in the 1990s when it was over 130 years old. I had no idea!
With the Women's Olympic Ice Hockey team taking gold in OT against Canada and the Men's Ice Hockey team in the semi-finals; have you ever wondered who invented the game? Stick-and-ball games were played in the Middle Ages until about the early1840s.
In the late 1840's newspapers referenced hockey played on ice. The first organized ice hockey game was played on March 3, 1875. In 1875 the teams played using a flat, wooden block - a cousin of the modern puck. In 1899, ice hockey becomes popular in the United States. In 1917, the National Hockey League (NHL) formed.
The Boston Bruins became the first America team in the NHL in 1924. Ice hockey first appeared in the Olympics at the 1920 Antwerp Summer Games before officially becoming a permanent part of the Winter games in 1924. Pictured: Winter scene with skaters playing a version of ice hockey c. 1660, 1924 Olympic game between the United States and Canadian. Canadian wins 6-1 to take the gold medal and the 1980 Winter Olympics "Miracle on Ice", when the United States men's team wins the gold over the heavily favored Soviet Union.
