Talk:Shinny

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

These words:

"Hockey has its roots in a wide variety of similar sports, played long ago in many different countries.

These early versions of hockey had many different names, depending on the country that the player came from. People from England called their version "bandy" or "field hockey", the Irish referred to it as "hurling". To Scots it was "shinty" and to Americans "ice polo". Native Canadians played a game called "baggataway". Canadians called it "shinny"."
