The origins of ice hockey are unclear, but it's widely accepted that the British are responsible for bringing hockey to North America. Soldiers stationed in Nova Scotia, Canada, played the earliest games. In 1879, a group of college students at McGill University in Montreal organised competitions and had developed the first known set of hockey rules. The sport migrated south to the United States during the 1890s. The first known hockey games took place between Johns Hopkins and Yale Universities in 1895. The first Olympic Games to include ice hockey for men took place in 1920 in Antwerp. However, the first Olympic Winter Games took place in 1924 in Chamonix. COMPETITION At the Olympic Winter Games, women compete in an eight-team tournament (women's hockey was added to the Olympic Winter Games programme in Nagano in 1998), whereas men compete in a 14-team tournament.

U.S. players: 'I think they panicked Look back at the 1980 Winter Games U.S. Shocks Soviets in Ice Hockey, 4-3 By Leonard Shapiro Washington Post Staff Writer February 23, 1980; Page D1 When the final horn sounded, players, coaches and team officials poured onto the ice and mobbed goalie Jim Craig, who stopped 36 shots. (File Photo) The U.S. won on a 20-foot wrist shot by team captain Mike Eruzione, whose name means "eruption" in Italian, with 10 minutes remaining. "I still can't believe this has happened," Eruzione said. The United States, seeded seventh in the 12-team field at the start of the competition, clinched at least a bronze medal with the victory. Following the 3-3 tie between Sweden and Finland in last night's other game, based on the complicated point system for this tournament, the United States has three points, Sweden and the Soviet Union two each and Finland one. A victory against Finland by the United States Sunday would clinch the gold for the Americans regardless of the outcome of the Soviet Union-Sweden game. If the U.S. and Finland tie, a tie in the other, later game would give the gold to the U.S., as would a victory by the Soviets. A win by Sweden in that game, however, would give the gold to that country on the basis of goal differential. Sweden and the U.S. tied in their head-to-head encounter.

(152 cm) and with a blade, which may be slightly curved, no wider than 3 in. (7.6 cm) and no longer than 12.6 in. (32 cm). Players wear protective pads under their clothing, thick gloves, and a helmet, which is mandatory in all professional, and most amateur, games. Goaltenders are allowed to use heavier and wider sticks (to help keep the puck out of the net) and wear additional protective equipment, including face masks. The skates worn for ice hockey differ from those used for figure skating and speed skating in that the blade is thinner and shorter, with a plain, pointed end, and the boot is lower and thicker.

Penalties are assessed for holding, tripping, slashing with the stick, boarding (an illegal check), charging, cross-checking, elbowing, high-sticking (a player cannot carry his stick above his shoulder), hooking, interference, roughing, spearing, and fighting. The offending player is sent to a penalty box for two minutes for minor infractions (e.g. hooking, tripping) or five minutes for major infractions (e.g. spearing, fighting). Teams may not substitute for players who are penalized and must play shorthanded during the term of the penalty; neither team, however, can be at more than a two-player disadvantage at one time. The team with the player advantage sets up an offense known as a power play and attempts to score while the opponent is shorthanded.
