The word 'hockey' is from the 16th Century. There is a suggestion that it may be derived from 'hook' - a bent object, such as would catch or hold anything - as in bent, curved or hooked stick used to play the game. There is another suggestion that hockey derived from the Middle French word 'hoquet' which means shepherd's crook. However, in Windsor, Nova Scotia where there is documented evidence of hurley being played on ice and is therefore considered to be one of the birthplaces of the game, there is an oral history regarding a Colonel Hockey who was stationed at the garrison on Fort Edward. The Colonel used the game to exercise his troops and the game adopted his name. Though there is no documentation for this claim, the British Army list located in the Library of Nova Scotia's Legislative Assembly in Halifax, lists a quartermaster named John Hockey who served in the mid-1800s when the game became known as hockey.
