March 3 1975 Victoria Skating Rink Montreal was the first game resembling today's rules. (But hockey had been around for a long time remember it evolved, it wasn't invented) James Creighton got some of his McGill University rugby mates, and some spectators together and had a game. But the game still resembled rugby for example there was no forward passing back then. Another FYI this game was never finished because a huge brawl broke out involving both the players and the fans. See hockey was A LOT rougher in the beginning than it is today!

The first guy is partially correct. That's the first "recognized" hockey game ever played. If you're looking for origins, only theories exist on that. Most hockey historians believe that it came from England, when occupying forces in the Maritimes needed a game to play, they found something that's a cross between soccer, native americans' lacrosse, and golf (two nets, one stick per player, etc).
However, in the late 90s, there was a discovery up near the North Pole where someone (can't remember the name) was trying to map the region, and even that pre-dates the discovery of this continent. That discovery had journal entries from the captain describing a game played by his crew that resembled hockey.

The roots of Ice Hockey where from North, when the Native Americans where playing "hockey" with cow's freezed boose during winter time by puting the boose into the goal of the opposite team... It was somewhere in the 1880...

March 3, 1875, in Montreal. That was the first Official ice hockey game, played with a puck instead of a ball, and more closely resembling the game we know today, instead of a form of rugby, which is where it grew from, if I'm not mistaken.

Actually, there are paintings depicting a game very much like hockey in the Netherlands, predating the 'official' game in Montreal.
So no, hockey didn't originate in Canada, but Canadians made it popular.
