Hockey A Peoples History Pt 1

[@FelixRosas10]

1:54 too true. I’m 28 and from Texas, have always respected hockey but was never really into it. Finally went to my first NHL game (Islanders @ Stars) and 3 weeks later here I am watching the history of hockey videos. Once hockey grabs you, it grabs you. Thanks Canada 🇨🇦 🫡

[@alitlweird]

I love that a fight broke out in that first hockey match and it simply became part of the game.

Boston born in 1960 my mom,RIP would point the headlights on the frozen pond so I could skate myself at night, I ended an all-star and in 1970 to 1976 we'd go to different Canadian cities every year, the families we stayed with treated us like kings, I know the Canadian national anthem by heart, thank you to all the Canadian people that have a young Boston kid the time of his life. 🇨🇦🇺🇸

To Canada: thank you for sharing Hockey

Greatest Doc. Ever!

[@JCKAMK]

Thanks for posting. Hockey is the only sport left that's more action than commercials, video reviews, challenges, and player celebrations after routine plays. Go Hawks!

[@acidspit14]

maybe in Usa and canada. IN europe there is no space for commercials between sports.

[@levithomas915]

⁠@@acidspit14In Europe, sports are boring as F!

[@chrisbee9643]

@@levithomas915 I agree and I am German. xD DTM - dead F1 - dead Bundesliga - dead Hockey - never really alive Football - there is basically none The only thing worth wathing are the 24h races of Nürburgring and Le Mans and the Motocycle World Championship with MotoGP... The rest is so fn boring, I switched to US Sport almost full time...

[@GillesPaquetAllaire]

What? Are you forget about the sports called "soccer" ?

[@chrisbee9643]

@@GillesPaquetAllaire Soccer is a pussy sport... To me it is equal to chess or golf in point of action... And the people, who play top tier soccer are pussis as well... Just look at Neymar, Messi and the others... They look like 14 year old boys, not like. Generation Van Bommel were the last real men to play soccer. These days soccer players shave their legs just right up to their pussy...

I visited the WW2 prison camp made famous for The Great Escape in Poland in 2017. In a display, there were hockey sticks, hockey equipment, including skates and pucks sent to the Canadian prisoners through the International Red Cross. They played outdoors in the winter "until the sticks broke". They used the broken sticks to work the air pump they made for the escape tunnel. 😉

Wonder if Hilts played when he wasn't in the cooler?

[@ericbeaulieu4843]

Very well-made series (with the usual excellence of cbc docs..) .I'm gol-darned proud to be a canadian, a citizen ,where hockey,the beautiful game and one of the greatest sports games in the world, was born .Yes ,thanks for posting this .

[@josephbarkley3301]

Hockey is the best sport ever created

[@TkcUsHegemony]

Hockey is black peoples game stolen from them. History is written by imperials, and the mindset of absorbing their version is promoted by the National Educational curriculum. We are seeing that playing out even these days. Imperialist mindset never died , just different jargon used in order to conform their citizens.

[@jonathancroce3118]

This is a great show. Thanks for posting them.

[@sanford943]

I have been looking for this for quite some time. Happy to see that some one finally uploaded it.

[@TSNAnnotator]

This series is my yearly prep for hockey season

[@erickaslov]

I am also here because of Kevin Smith

[@billc756]

fantastic series. anyone who likes hockey should watch this.

[@alexyverr4389]

I am American, but after seeing this series I want to move to Canada.

[@xxstatic_knightxx173]

Same, screw America lets go to canada

[@jenm1]

majority of Canadians live in the suburbs and cities, not the vast wilderness. This is a lie sold to make Canada look natural and innocent, a story, an image. it's not real. I've been here my whole life and only a select few areas look like this.

[@MCKevin289]

Hurling is also a lot like lacrosse. It was an Irish sport invented to train children to be warriors, it served a similar purpose in Ireland to lacrosse did in haudenosaunee/Iroquois culture.

[@xxstatic_knightxx173]

Thanks for posting, i cant get this in the U.S.

[@bryanhogamier3039]

Best documentary I've ever seen about hockey. I love that the cup has been around longer than the NHL. Hockey is so much more than the NHL and a sport. It's some people dreams growing up and some people's last wishes passing on, and everything in-between. It's fun, sweat, blood, and tears. It makes you a man, I've never ment a pussy hockey player. Players play by the code, not the rules.

[@homemadepecanpie]

I’ve watched this series multiple times through since you posted on 2012 lol

[@ChristineCAlb1]

Thank you for the upload of this series. I absolutely LOVE hockey history. 1883? I see skiing had already been invented.

[@footfungus6226]

Although alternatives like shinny or playing with a wooden like puck existed the experiment game didn’t happen until 1883.

[@sixsentsoldiers]

And the first organized Hockey game indoors, is called early due to a fight. Gotta love it.

[@denisokic5145]

Dude thanks for finding and uploading it.

[@doctorspencer9001]

I do wanna say thank Canada for the gift to the world and its my Favorite sport of all and i also wanna thank Lord Stanley and his boys for coming up with the 50 dollar investment of the Stanley Cup which now Teams pay millions to put there name on it

[@anotherbutt4chair454]

Doctor Spencer , 50 dollars back then was 50 million in todays money. Just kidding i dont know.

[@patrickhenkels6808]

this is so Awsome Alot of stuff about hockey i never knew

Thanks for this!

[@Buflo_Red]

Indigenous Americans were playing this sport when Europeans first arrived and it was mainly women who played it in the field... Jesuit priest even witnessed the indigenous Americans playing it on ice, it was a game but also played to settle disputes amongst tribe and family... The game literally was already created here in the Americas and is not directly related to any other civilization outsidr of the continent that I know of and if you thought that was crazy the first mention of hockey in Canada was in 1815 and by 1850 the game as we know it today was created by an all "Black" league(s) yep.... Just do a quick google search

[@GuitarBloodlines]

not true at all 🤣

[@gpan62]

BTW, the ancient Greek frieze showing what looks like a face-off is on display in the National Archeological Museum in Athens.

[@MCKevin289]

The word puck also comes from hurling.

I grew up in Detroit, a real hockey town, and I was always told that Black Canadians invented this game. Didn't get past the intro but you don't seem to mention this.

Trotsky was member of Bolsheviks, in fact he was one of founding members (second one was Lenin (Trotsky was Lenin right hand)), trust me, I was born in USSR ;)

+Colin Sparks Yes it is. His name is listed as the narrator in the end credits.

[@drudown76]

how did the puck come to be?

[@Ortona-43]

Raptor Jesus the boards in the indoor rinks would have been small, 5-10 cm perhaps. And a ball could go flying into the stands and hurt someone pretty bad.

[@Ortona-43]

In the attempt to combat this, they came up with a cube puck, which, as you can imagine, the goalies weren’t to fond of, so they settled on the puck, in the belief that nobody could raise more than knee height.

[@slakcheetah4989]

Wow back in 1895 they were already talking about betting on the sport and they were already drinking booze out of the Stanley Cup lol

[@TonyPremier732]

I'm here cause of Kevin Smith.

#hockeyclub people sucked

[@robertthorpe2163]

I just finish this documentary and i would have to say it was okay. I understand how critics don't like a documentary because of the talking heads cindrome. But thos could have used some talking heads instead of the boring narration. The could have taken a tip from Ken burns and found some experts and more players to talk with. I understand the that was Canadian documentary and they wanted to show how they invested hockey and that make total sense but the fact that they would skip season that the Stanely Cup was won by American teams was childish and unprofessional. a few years ago, ESPN had a series about the history of hockey, and it was ten times better this one.

[@TSNAnnotator]

I understand what you're saying, but the purpose of the documentary is to understand how the game evolved/ affected the culture of Canada. This is not a documentary purely about the history of hockey. When you look at it that way, skipping American teams winning the Stanley Cup makes more sense. Speaking of Ken Burns (Baseball specifically), I don't typically hear/ see any comments from Canadians about how that documentary ignored Canadian contributions to Baseball. There was lots of baseball in Canada prior to the Expos that isn't covered and no one is calling that "childish" and "unprofessional".

[@clintonwalls3642]

SOUL ON ICE, is about who really started the game of hockey, and it was black people in Canada the free men of color. They invented the slap shot, how to play in goal getting down on their knees, the white man played goalie standings up. Then those S.O.B wouldn't let us play with them just like M.L.B
