Message: [QUOTE="Jamesdyl17, post: 2277904, member: 8224"] This is a collection of old historic Ice Hockey Photo's based in Connecticut from the 1800's. The first passage I found is out of the 1854 edition of the Little Pilgrim where it mentions that "Shinney" was played on skates in Connecticut in 1848.
