Didn't even notice. You did say first *organized* ice hockey game.

Doh. Make that 1875 in Montreal. But you knew that.

It seems as though the first organized ice hockey game may have been played in
Montreal in 1975. It was probably a variant of field hockey type games played
in Ireland and Scotland. Oxford University in the UK started playing ice
hockey in 1885. Yale and John Hopkins in the U.S. started playing in 1893. The
University of Michigan and Michigan State University played their first varsity
hockey game in 1922.

For a hundred years or more hockey has been "our game". While we weren't
watching the rest of the world (the cold world, anyway) started playing and improving and
all of a sudden thirty years ago guys with names like Mogilny, Federov, Salming, Hasek
and Koivu started playing here and dominating.
Oh yeah, guys like Brian Leech, too.
It was a shock.
When I was a kid every NHL player was Canadian except two Americans and they
were journeymen.
Now I doubt that Canadians comprise more than 50% of the league, probably less.
Hockey is engrained in our national psyche in a way you can't imagine; like
baseball might have been in the US up to the 1950s.
So when we win internationally it's a big deal around here. And to beat our
close friends and natural rivals it's all the sweeter.

Well, that's about as surprising as the Dutch wins in speed skating.
