The word 'hockey' is derived from the 'hooked stick' with which the game is played, from the Old French word Ihoqueil, meaning 'shepherd's crook'. Do You Know . . . that the general idea of ice hockey is not original with Canada? Many 16th and 17th century Dutch paintings show a game some- thing like hockey being played with a stick shaped like a golf club. Do You Know ...that there are sharp differences of opinion as to exactly whbn and where the first ice ti hockey games were played in Canada?
