Football “isn’t a matter of life and death. It’s more important than that.” There is much that could be said about ice hockey. The first game was played by British soldiers in Canada in the 1850s. In 1875, James Creighton drew up the rules and hosted the first indoor ice hockey match. It is believed that the game was based on the English game of field hockey, the Irish game of hurling (brutal field hockey), the Scottish game of shinty and the Native American game of lacrosse. Boxing may be the oldest sport, but it has always been a brutal one. Kicking, biting and hitting a man while down were an unfortunate part of boxing until, in 1743, the Brits laid down the first set of rules that provided for padded gloves, 3-minute rounds with rests, and the 10-second knockout rule. Most importantly, it prevented blows being rained on a man who was down, on one knee, or hanging on the ropes. Points were awarded only for clean blows to the head and torso.
