HISTORIC
HOCKEY SERIES
Each February
the International Hockey Hall of Fame presents its Historic Hockey
Series. The only event of its kind, it is a re-enactment of the
first organized game played on the Kingston harbour in 1886. The
original rules of that era are used including a square puck, seven
players per side and no forward passing. Queen's University and
the Royal Military College of Kingston compete along with the
2nd Regiment from Royal Canadian Horse Artillery from Petawawa
who represent the garrison soldiers stationed in Kingston in the
1880's.
