james laverance Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 The first passage I found out of the 1854 edition of the Little Pilgrim where it mentions that "Shinney" was played on skates in Connecticut in 1848.https://books.google.ca/books?id=-xYAAAAAYAAJ&pg=RA1-PA23&dq=shinney+long+sticks+Connecticut&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjipOnLrZ_VAhVI4YMKHZZkBxoQ6AEICzAA#v=onepage&q=shinney%20long%20sticks%20Connecticut&f=false The second is a painting of a game of Lacrosse on skates in Connecticut from 1859. The third article is Yale's first Hockey team in 1889. The fourth photo being from Storrs Agricultural School(Now UConn) from 1891. The fifth image is of Boys Playing Hockey, ca. 1896. This souvenir paperweight shows boys playing hockey on the old Garden Street Reservoir in Hartford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
