e/Halifax Rules

New Query

Information
has glosseng: The earliest rules of ice hockey that appear to have been recorded were the Halifax Rules as published by a Nova Scotia newspaper reporter named James Power, who was known colloquially as The Dean of Canadian Sports Reporters. Power had a deep interest in sport and began his newspaper reporting career as early as 1879, long before the game of Ice Hockey had spread to Quebec City, Ontario or the West. At that time, the game was being played only in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and the city of Montreal. Power recorded the rules as related to him by Byron Weston who had become the president of the Dartmouth Amateur Athletic Association and who had played in the Halifax-Dartmouth area as early as the 1860s with teams from the area including native Mi'kmaq players.
