Vision: Windsor, Nova Scotia will be recognized and celebrated as the birthplace of ice hockey and for its contributions to the evolution and growth of the game from Long Pond to the world.
-
Windsor, Nova Scotia is widely known as the birthplace of hockey. There is near-irrefutable evidence that it was in Windsor that the game the world knows as ice hockey had its humble origins as early as the year 1800, on Long Pond. It is in the writings of Thomas Chandler Haliburton that the first known reference to a form of ice hockey can be found: the boys of Windsor's King's College School adapted their British game of hurley to the ice. And hurley-on-ice developed over time into the internationally popular game of ice hockey, considered by most Canadians as our national sport.
The Windsor Hockey Heritage Society will actively research and promote the proud history of Windsor, Nova Scotia, in the origins of the game of ice hockey for the purpose of engaging and sharing it with Nova Scotia and the world.
