ice hockey has a long and multifaceted story that has been created in different parts of the world. According to wikipedia , the development of the game goes back to the Renaissance when ball games were already played on the ice. Canada claims the birthplace of modern ice hockey, especially through a game on March 3, 1875 in Montreal. Interestingly, the term "hockey" was probably borrowed from French, while the hockey racket developed from the Krummstock, the Camburca.

The beginnings of ice hockey are characterized by a variety of influences, including the hurling and Shinty, which were brought to Canada by British soldiers. The Royal Canadian Rifles played Shinney in 1856 and thus contributed to the further development of the game. The first ice rink was opened in London in 1876, which significantly promoted the spread of sport.

Since ice hockey developed rapidly in the 20th century, it was included in the Olympic program in 1920. The early dominance of Canada in international ice hockey was challenged by other nations in the following decades, while the Soviet national team dominated all international titles in the 1960s and 1970s.

The recent success of the EC Red Bull Salzburg is not only proof of the strength of the team, but also reconstructs the incessant passion and dedication that has shaped sport since its beginnings. The fans can look forward to the next chapters in the history of ice hockey.
