Ice hockey was imported to Europe in the late 1800's.

Victory on Ice They were called the "Boys of Winter" the young men on the roster of the United States hockey team competing in the 1980 Winter Olympic Games at Lake Placid in upstate New York. Twelve of the 20 players were Minnesota natives, four were from Massachusetts, two from Wisconsin and two from Michigan. Among them was center Dave Christian of Warroad, Minnesota, whose father and uncle had played on the 1960 Olympic team that won a gold medal the last time the U.S. had taken the gold in ice hockey. Most expected the 1980 team to place no better than fifth or sixth at Lake Placid the odds-on favorite to win was the Soviet team, which had taken the previous four Olympic hockey gold medals. The Soviets had won 16 amateur world championships and defeated the National Hockey League all-stars. Czechoslovakia, Sweden, Finland and West Germany also fielded excellent teams. The European players were generally older and more experienced in world-class competition than their American counterparts. Pulling off a last minute tie with Sweden in the first round of competition, the Americans next took on the second-seed Czechs. Coach Herb Brooks, who had led the University of Minnesota hockey team to three NCAA championships, knew his boys could not beat the Europeans in skating or passing

Recent Developments X Print Preview of Section From a young age, players develop their skills and learn about hockey by playing and practicing as much as possible. Watching games, in person or on television, can also be helpful. Some professional teams, in an effort to promote the game and enhance their standing in the community, conduct seminars where they provide instruction. Many aspiring players attend schools or camps in the summer, where they not only spend time on the ice, but also study in the classroom, learning about strategy through lectures or film. In general anyone who does not play hockey for a salary is considered an amateur. In the United States, this includes youth hockey players, high school players, and college players, as well as those who play on certain teams that represent the United States in international competition. In Canada and some European countries, junior hockey is an advanced level of amateur play for those of high school age and just older. Players who leave home to play for such amateur teams often receive some type of stipend and/or living expenses, but no salary.
University Of Massachusetts - Official Athletic Site - Ice Hockey Cahoon has coached two US olympic Festival teams in 1982 and 1990 and was anassistant for the US Junior National Team in UMass Athletics ice hockey http://umassathletics.collegesports.com/sports/m-hockey/mtt/cahoon_don00.html
Extractions: Don "Toot" Cahoon enters his fifth season at the helm of the University of Massachusetts hockey program after a pair of stellar seasons which gave UMass its best two-year run in school history. UMass has posted back-to-back 19-win seasons and a 38-29-7 overall record since the start of the 2002-03 season. Last season, the Minutemen registered a 19-12-6 record as they were ranked for most of the season and reached the Hockey East title game, falling in an epic three-overtime battle against Maine. Two years ago the team posted a 19-17-1 record, advancing to the Hockey East Semifinals for the first time in school history and recording the highest Hockey East finish in school history. For his efforts, Cahoon was named Hockey East Coach of the Year and New England Coach of the Year. Cahoon accomplished all this with a group that consisted of only five juniors and seniors. The 2001-02 edition of the UMass hockey team was a young squad that earned eight wins throughout the season. However, the Minutemen were extremely competitive, appearing in 13 one-goal games. The 2001-02 team also captured Hockey East's prestigious Charles E. Holt Team Sportsmanship Award for the first time in school history.
Dummies::Exploring The History Of Women's Hockey Exploring the history of Women s hockey Adapted From hockey For Dummies, But suddenly it became all the rage, and women are taking to the ice in some http://www.dummies.com/WileyCDA/DummiesArticle/id-883,subcat-POLITICS.html
Extractions: Adapted From: Hockey For Dummies, 2nd Edition The women's game caught on fairly quickly after that, and in 1894, a female club team formed at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. Dubbed the "Love-Me-Littles," the team incurred the wrath of the school's archbishop, who did not want the young women to play. Two years later, women's teams started at McGill University in Montreal and in the Ottawa Valley. The first women's hockey championship for the province of Ontario was held in 1914, and in 1916 the United States hosted an international hockey tournament in Cleveland, featuring American and Canadian women's squads. Unfortunately, the popularity of women's hockey started to decline in the 1930s and 1940s, mostly as a result of the demands of the Depression and World War II. However, those rather dark years did produce one of the greatest women's hockey teams of all time: the Preston Rivulettes, who lost only twice in 350 Canadian league games during a stretch from 1930 to 1939. Women didn't start getting back into the game in a big way until the mid-1960s. In 1967, for example, a Dominion Ladies Hockey Tournament was held in Brampton, Ontario, with 22 teams and players ranging in age from 9 to 50 competing. And by the 1970s, things had really picked up. A number of Canadian provinces established associations during that decade to govern female hockey programs. At the same time, several American colleges and high schools began forming varsity and club teams for women players. And overseas, club squads and leagues began taking shape in places like Finland, Japan, Sweden, China, Korea, Norway, Germany, and Switzerland.
3rd Period -- International Hockey - Olympic Games The 1998 Nagano Games saw Canada finally ice a team comprised of the nation sbest players. The silvermedal winning 1994 Canadian olympic hockey team. http://www.virtualmuseum.ca/Exhibitions/Hockey/English/International/oly.html
Extractions: Until 1998, Canada had never sent all of its best players to compete at the Olympics, yet no other nation has as many Olympic hockey medals as Canada. This is an amazing accomplishment when you consider that until very recently Canada sent over Amateur club teams and rosters of minor leaguers, university students and Amateurs to face off against elite level European professional players. For years, a major bone of contention has been the interpretation of the word Amateur in the framework of the Olympic Games. The Russians, for example, won several Olympic gold medals icing a team featuring their best of the best; names like Vladislav Tretiak, Valeri Kharlamov, Igor Larionov and Slava Fetisov fill their Olympic history. However, these players did not face off against Phil Esposito, Ken Dryden, Guy Lafleur and Mario Lemieux in the Olympic Games because these Canadians weren't permitted to play due to their "professional" status. Why the Russians weren't considered professionals when, in fact, that is exactly what they were, is totally unclear and the basis for the Canadians' dispute. This ill-will led Canada to choose not to ice a team in the 1972 and 1976 Games. For those years Canada withdrew from international hockey altogether, frustrated by the inability to properly represent the country.
Extractions: Know Your Winter Olympics Tony Amonte scored the game's first goal, beating Martin Brodeur to give the United States a 1-0 lead. But Canada stormed back when Paul Kariya scored to put the his team on the board. Then, with just under a minute and a-half left in the first period, Joe Sakic fired a pass from the left corner to Jerome Iginla who was streaking to the right post. Iginla stuffed it in for the tie-breaking goal. Canada dominated much of the second period but failed to take advantage of a two-man advantage when Mario Lemieux missed a wide-open net. Brian Rafalski later scored for the United States to tie the score at 2-2, but Canada took a 3-2 on a Sakic wrist shot. Canada put the game on ice when Iginla and Sakic scored in the third period.

Young and Guerin now have three goals each in the Americans' three Olympic games.
