Hockey in Pitt Meadows

This photograph features 12 men with their hockey skates and sticks (one of the men is possibly John McMyn). Hockey is Canadas official winter sport (our summer sport is Lacrosse). Canada is viewed as the birthplace of ice hockey, and we all hold the game near to our hearts and claim it as our own. Although there are several Canadian locations that claim to be the birthplace of ice hockey, the recognized birth place is Montreal in 1875. Championships began to be held in Montreal in the 1880s, and this would eventually lead to the awarding of the Stanley cup (considered the oldest trophy in North American sports, it was first presented in 1893). The National Hockey Association was formed in 1910, and the National Hockey League followed in 1917.
