Short history with ice hockey canvas prints

Ice hockey developed from "stick-and-ball" games that were played in the United Kingdom as far back as the 17th century! The first such game played on ice was chamiare, or shinty, in Scotland in 1608. A similar game, bandy, was played on ice in England around the same time. However, if someone asks you when viewing your ice hockey canvas prints about who really invented the sport, tell them it is still a topic of much discussion. Some say the very first ice hockey game was played in the early 1800s in Windsor, Nova Scotia in Canada. Students there adapted hurling, an Irish field game, into a game played on ice. Scottish and Irish immigrants in Canada, as well as the British Army based there, are said to have begun playing the sport not long after. Even more interesting for admirers of ice hockey canvas prints is that historians say it was the Mi’kmaq Indians in Nova Scotia who first started playing a hockey-like game on ice. They did this using a stick and a square wooden block, also based on the Irish game of hurley. As you can tell, ice hockey canvas prints come with a lot of history, and not just visual appeal.

A few rules

With ice hockey canvas prints come a lot of questions by whoever views them in your chosen space. For the uninitiated, the object of the game is to hit a small puck across the ice before then hitting it into a goal with a hockey stick. Every time the puck goes into the goal then one point is awarded for that team. The puck can be passed around the players on the ice and it is the job of the opposition to try and prevent the other team from scoring. The team with the most goals at the end of the game is declared the winner. Should the game end in a tie then the game will go into overtime where the first team to then score will be crowned winners. Those are essentially the basic rules when it comes to this sport, as you can see in ice hockey prints. People will probably recognize the typical arena of a hockey game, as seen in the ice hockey canvas print named "Ice Hockey Rink". Ice hockey canvas prints can thus turn spectators into fans, and perhaps even into players if the circumstances allow it.
