“He shoots, he scores！” The audience stands to cheer on their team, the Vancouver Canucks. Fans in bright red jerseys and painted faces jump in excitement. People in Vancouver love ice hockey. And they are pretty good at it, too.

In 1855, British soldiers in Nova Scotia decided to try a form of field hockey on the frozen lakes and ponds, using a puck instead of a ball. Ice hockey was born. The popularity of this new winter sport soon spread throughout Canada and the northeastern United States. An American student at a prep school in New Hampshire helped to establish the game's official rules in 1885. The same year, Canada had its first hockey league.
1855年，新斯科舍的英國士兵決定用一個橡膠圓盤而不是圓球，在冰凍的湖面和池塘上，以場地曲棍球的形式，進行一項運動。于是，冰上曲棍球運動就誕生了。這種新冬季體育運動很快就在加拿大各地和美國東北部流行起來。1885年，新罕布什爾州一位預科學校的美國學生幫助確立了這項運動的正式規則。同年，加拿大組建了第一個曲棍球俱樂部。
Lord Stanley, Canada's English Governor General, loved the new game so much he bought a large silver bowl, announcing that it would be given to the best team in Canada each year. That bowl, now called the Stanley Cup, is still awarded to the team that wins the NHL championship.
加拿大的英國總督斯坦利非常喜歡這項新運動，他買了一個巨大的銀碗，宣布每年加拿大的最佳球隊才能得到這個銀碗。現在被稱為斯坦利杯的那個銀碗依然只頒發給在國家曲棍球錦標賽中獲勝的球隊。
