The origins of most ice sports are understandably rooted in countries and regions of the world that have colder climates.... Most residents and natives of these areas have grown up with, and enjoy participating in ice sports such as broom ball, ice hockey, curling, figure skating, speed skating and ringette. However, these sports are also very popular in many other parts of the world with some of them such as curling, ice hockey, figure skating and speed skating, being Olympic sports. Most of these sports originated outdoors on frozen lakes, rivers and ponds many years ago and although they can still be enjoyed outdoors, they are now mainly played indoors from the comfort and warmth of luxurious ice arenas.

Hockey took its most important step forward in 1924 when the International Hockey Federation, the world governing body for the sport, was founded in Paris under the initiative of Frenchman, Paul Léautey. Mr. Léautey, who would become the first President of the FIH, was motivated to action following hockey's omission from the program of the 1924 Paris Games. Mr. Léautey called together representatives from seven national federations to form the sport's international governing body, the Fédération Internationale de Hockey sur Gazon... The women's game developed quickly in many countries and in 1927, the International Federation of Women's Hockey Associations(IFWHA) was formed.... After celebrating their respective Golden Jubilees-the FIH in 1974 and the IFWHA in 1980-the two organisations came together in 1982 to form the FIH.

If hockey is our most popular national game, then nobody does a better job of making us feel like Canadians that the people of Plaster Rock. Every year, this community brings together 96 teams from across North America to compete for the "World Pond Hockey Championships". This is "four-on-four" play, with no goaltenders and plenty of action! All games are outdoors on a lake which is home to 24 ice surfaces. This means that many teams can play simultaneously for an exciting three days. Nothing like this exists anywhere else in the world. It serves as a celebration of Canadian culture-not just our love of hockey but, our love of hockey on the ponds, lakes and rivers of our childhood.

Si le hockey est notre sport national, alors personne ne réussit aussi bien à nous faire vibrer en tant que Canadiens que les gens de Plaster Rock. Cette communauté réunit chaque année des équipes de partout en Amérique du Nord pour participer aux Championnats mondiaux de hockey sur glace naturelle. Les matchs se déroulent dans un jeu vif, 4 contre 4 et sans gardiens de but! ils se jouent en plein air, sur un lac comptant 24 patinoires, ce qui permet à un grand nombre d'équipes de jouer simultanément pendant trois jours trépidants. Rien de tel n'existe ailleurs dans le monde. Ce championnat célèbre véritablement la culture canadienne - pas seulement notre passion du hockey, mais le respect de la tradition sur les glaces naturelles de notre enfance.
