The Celtic Origins of Hockey

[@lowlandnobleman6746]

Very Celtic. Very Canadian. Cheers from South Carolina.

[@jean-rochdion4898]

and very French and very Iroquois!!! but that part.... he didn't talk about it!😉🤫

[@barontv6893]

Is it just me or is the audio not in sync?

[@BARBARYAN.]

I wish I lived where hockey was available bc I was naturally an ice skater thanks to growing up either rollerblades as my transport. But here football is the main sport, in Texas. But I am not surprised in the slightest the Celts pioneered hockey. But I swear I thought I heard this sport came from Norway at one point.

. . Nicely told. . I pronounce caman as " come m"on " . Ball : sliotar. ( slit-tor ) . Puc fada. : long puck ( of sliotar ) . . From Éire here . .

[@ninogaggi]

Mackay / McKay are both pronounced like ‘Mack Eye’ in Scotland if you’re interested 👍🏼🫡

[@Sam-lm8gi]

I believe that hockey hair - the mullet - is also of Celtic origin. At least they had the mullet (or cúlán) in medieval Ireland.

[@TalorcMacAllan-y4o]

Irish........you would get mauled in Scotland for that debacle

[@TalorcMacAllan-y4o]

oor Irish couzins do hair..........rest is fact, leave them alone , if they want to do hair let them be.

[@Shin_Lona]

​@TalorcMacAllan-y4o 🤣

[@jean-rochdion4898]

Etymology; From old French/Germanic word Hoquet, a Shepherd stick with a hook.(Shepherd crook) in french, Hoquet and Hockey sound exactly the same, you can even with Hook/hooked make a relation and the Shepherd stick. the Iroquois word "hoghee" meaning "it hurt" is a other very possible option. That guy clearly did half of the job!!🤣🤣 you have more French and Iroquois in hockey than Irish/Scottish/British!! La Crosse Française is the ancestors of all your version! like the language.... English is 40ish% French!! quick la ca canne= hockey vrs Hoquet/hoghee= Hockey 🤣 not hard to compute tabarnak de kawliss!!

Once again, How the Irish Saved Civilization finds another way to make life better for us all.

[@sirvingo3336]

The modern sport of ice hockey was developed in Canada, most notably in Montreal, where the first indoor game was played on March 3, 1875. It draws influence from shinty which originated in Scotland, as well as field hockey which originated in England.[3]

[@TalorcMacAllan-y4o]

@@sirvingo3336 aye we are never far about

[@TalorcMacAllan-y4o]

Irished saved beer........the end.... I'm a Scot , trust me , I'm nae a boy tae lie.😉

[@vmhutch]

@TalorcMacAllan-y4o ​Hahaha. Well. I've been schooled.

[@IosuamacaMhadaidh]

I must say the Irish did save civilization especially, in early industrial revolution America.

[@corriemooney9812]

Amazing.

[@IosuamacaMhadaidh]

Ahhhhh the Campbell joke was 👌😂

[@jasminechan4705]

21:04 that’s so sweet! ❤

[@Mike-Rude]

Respect

[@-RONNIE]

Thank you for the video. Hurling is the only sport I still watch all the time. I don't know what it is I used to watch basically every sport but over the years I just stopped. I'll say in the past 10 years maybe a little longer I haven't watched a full quarter of a game of anything besides Hurling. I know definitely never at my house probably when I'm out at a bar or lounge I'll watch whatever's on.

[@chc33-SouthSideMike]

Irish Hurling is the game and the sticks are Hurleys. The game and sticks still called the same thing. I’m surprised this didn’t make it into the show. Good shows tho generally

[@BillPatten-zh6lx]

I was wondering the same. Cu Chulainn must be a little disappointed of this oversight.

[@corriemooney9812]

It made it into the hockey hall of fame.

[@taxesdeathandtrouble.1886]

The audio is off by about a second, makes it tough for lip readers. I did try to refresh… it didn’t help. I’m only a couple of minutes in to the video, let’s hope it gets better.

[@LarryDavid59]

Great work once again! Question: where did you grow up?

[@FortressofLugh]

Spencerville/Prescott mostly, with a stint in Maidstone Saskatchewan.

[@jean-rochdion4898]

​​ as a French-Canadian/Mohawk from Montréal..... you did half your job big time buddy!!! the French and Iroquois laugh at you!! the Iroquois played on the Fleuve St-Laurent with skate with bones blades in 1740. La Crosse Française precede all the Irish/Scothish/British version. you even use a picture of the 1884 hockey game in Montréal at McGill University!!! pas fort le grand!! Etymology; from the old French/Germanic word "Hoquet"... a Shepherd stick with a hook.... Shepherd Crook. Hoquet and Hockey sound exactly the same in french. you can even make a relation with hook/hooked ... Crook. the Iroquois word "Hoghee" meaning "it hurt" is a other option... again sound very similar and look similar. So my friend.... "kick la Ca Canne" = Hockey .... or Hoquet = Hockey!! not hard to compute. Surgar Can .... Canne à Sucre in french. English is a Creole language, meaning it use multiple existing languages to create a new one. In the English language.... French is the base with 40ishh%. you should Seriously make a part 2!!

[@keithvruno1022]

Great video, good luck putting one past Hellebuyck and Oettinger. Binnington as a number 1 is rough.

[@TalorcMacAllan-y4o]

Celts

[@jennaforesti]

The ever popular joke: "I went to see the fights over the weekend." "Oh? How was it?" "Terrible. A hockey game broke out."

[@VOLKN]

Oh fuck yeah, bud.

[@jojosviolethaven322]

Can't dismiss the MikMaq & The historical contribution they gave to the game since 1750 apx. At least ❤ 🍁

[@IosuamacaMhadaidh]

Now fighting in hockey makes more sense😂

[@yensid4294]

❤

[@shanegooding4839]

I seem to remember reading a book about the Bretons in which they also had a hockey like game called bazhig kamm or 'bent stick'. I'm wondering if Irish/Scottish migrants brought it there too?

[@aariley2]

Speaking of ice, please take your cold Canadian air back. We Sputherners hate it! Thank you.

[@jam1087]

Canadian eh?!?! This is definitely not a government funded program, and let's thank the gods for this

[@TalorcMacAllan-y4o]

aye........we are the celts , not to be confused with celtic fc , they are not us for the most part

[@hairyjohnson2597]

The irisy sport hurling has to be from some ancient Celtic sport.

[@TalorcMacAllan-y4o]

not as old as the Scots..........we are head of games back then, its that simple

[@TalorcMacAllan-y4o]

yer game comes fae Scotland......deal we it

[@TalorcMacAllan-y4o]

golf football , curling etc etc

[@sunsandbulls8976]

while gaelic is a celtic term(used by celts to denote a type) gaels are not celts, they are scythians, attributed as wild men(the type gael denotes) by the britons(who were in fact, celts.

[@Ardentwhite]

They want to White erase hockey
