Hockey
History of Hockey The game of Hockey has been around from the time of early civilization. Historical records show that a crude form of hockey was played in Egypt 4,000 years ago. Later in the mid-18th century, modern hockey evolved in England. In the 1908 Games held the first Olympic hockey competition for men. In 1909, hockey had made its first steps toward an International Federation when the Hockey Association in England and the Belgium Hockey Association agreed to mutually recognize each other to regulate international hockey relations. Soon after the French Association followed but it was not considered sufficient. In 1924, hockey took its most important step forward when the International Hockey Federation was founded in Paris under the initiative of Frenchman, Paul Leautey. Soon in 1927, the International Federation of Woman’s Hockey Associations was formed and the women’s game quickly developed in many countries. By 1964, there were already 50 countries affiliated with the FIH. Today, the work of the International Hockey Federation is accomplished through the efforts of the FIH President and Honorary Secretary General, working together with an Executive Board, eight Committees, three Advisory Panels and the professional staff in its Lausanne headquarters. In many ways, the FIH serves as the 'guardian ' of the sport. It works in co-operation with both the national and continental organizations to ensure consistency and unity in hockey around the world. The FIH not only regulates the sport, but is also responsible for its development and promotion so as to guarantee a secure future for hockey.
