canadian refrigeration company continued from last week the drafting of the rules bobbie had a book of rules of english rugby football and we studied each one carefully criticiz ing them from every point of view until we were both satisfied that the game could be successfully played on ice the next day i told r f dick smith one of my class mates about the new game and following further discussions he undertook to write out the rules which we had decided upon with very few changes they are the rules wveh are used today at that time- hockey players uniforms were not paddedand the sticks used by goalkeepers were the same as the ones used by the other players the first sticks were fashioned after robertsons field hockey stick they were made in the indian village of caughnawaga about fifteen miles from montreal and cost thirtyfive cents each as soon as we procured the sticks we rented the crystal skat ing rink a public rink situated on dorchester street near windsor square for saturday mornings we started playing with fifteen men as in rugby but soon found that there were too many skaters on the rink before long we had eliminated all but seven men on each side three forwards one centre two guards and a goal keeper how ice hockey spread we had been playing for only a short time when a number of the fast skaters of the crystal rink who had been watching the game asked for the loan of some of our hockey sticks in order that they could form another team later a delegation of skaters from the victoria skating rink who had heard about the new game borrowed sticks from us and organized a team during the rest of the winter the indians were kept busy making sticks and the three teams played about once a week sometimes on one rink sometimes on the other it was not long before the general public became hockey conscious while the small boys of the city played the game on the streets the first world championship at that time ice palaces were being built in montreal as an experiment large palaces made of blocks of ice cut from the river were erected during january and early february the blocks frozen together with water were four feet long two feet wide and eighteen inches thick the walls were over sixty feet high with towers at intervals and the palaces were over one hundred yards long and about fifty yards wide a plat formstrong enough to hold two regiments of militia was built three feet below the top on the inside of the walls on the night of the attack on the palace the soldiers were stationed on the platform each being sup plied with a number of bombs and roman candles and other varieties of fireworks about 15000 snow- shoers dressed in white blanket suits and supplied with torches assembled at windsor square and at a given signal put on their snowshoes and started towards the mountain zigzagging back and forth over a selected route up its side from a position atop the ice palace it appeared as if an immense snake was moving back and forth on the mountainside finally the procession worked to the foot of the grade and then marched clown to the palace when the prearranged signal was given all the snowshoers stuck their torches upright in the snow and lit their fireworks as they directed them over the top of the palace the large sixteen arc lights within suddenly blazed forth and then the soldiers lit their roman candles bombs and other fireworks aiming their fire to cross that of the snow shoers the cross fire was a magnificent spectacle this was one of the attractions arranged by the ice palace com mittee to bring visitors to the city new stunts for attracting tourists were always welcomed and i suggested that it would be a great thing for ice hockey if a series of matches were played during carnival week a committee of hockey players placed my proposal before the carnival executive and after witnessing a game between mcgill and victoria the committee offered to award a 750 silver cup emblematic of the hockey championship of the world to the team winning the most games during carnival week six teams entered the contest which was played during the week ending february 12 18s3 mcgill victorias and the crystal teams of montreal the ottawas of ottawa the quebecs of quebec and the torontos of toronto each team played the other twice during the six days or almost two games each day under the rules of hockey as played at that time if a substitute player replaced one of the regulars that substitute had to play for the remainder of the game in order to play ten contests in six days two rinks were insuffici ent so the carnival committee cleared off the ice on the river opposite the centre of the city to make a regulation rink and when it was scraped and flooded this salute to canada pageant at
