No, you can go back hundreds of years and find games that could be considered a forebearer of modern hockey all around the world.
THAT SAID, the modern form of hockey just didn't happen when the whole world got together and said let's play. It was fleshed out and developed somewhere and there is no argument to be made against allowing Canada the vast amount of responsibility for accomplishing that. To say otherwise is a bit like what goes on here when we talk about basketball being a "Canadian game" just because a Canuck invented it. Sure Naismith came up with the idea, but all the subtleties and nuances that make basketball a sport were developed in the gyms and courtyards of the United States.
