9. History European immigrants brought various versions of hockey-like games to North America, such as the Irish sport of hurling , the closely related Scottish sport of shinty , and versions of field hockey played in England. Where necessary these seem to have been adapted for icy conditions; for example, a colonial Williamsburg newspaper records hockey being played in a snow storm in Virginia. Early paintings show "shinney", an early form of hockey with no standard rules, being played in Nova Scotia . Author Thomas Chandler Haliburton wrote in a book of fiction, about boys from King's College School in Windsor , Nova Scotia , playing "hurley on the ice" when he was a student there around 1800. To this day, " Shinny " is a popular Canadian term for an informal type of hockey, either on ice or as street hockey . These early games may have also absorbed the physically aggressive aspects of what the Mi'kmaq Aboriginal First Nation in Nova Scotia called dehuntshigwa'es .
