The Dartmouth "Chebuctos" Ice Hockey Team

The Dartmouth "Chebuctos" Ice Hockey team travelled by train
to Quebec in 1889 to play a tournament with the Quebec City team. The
Chebuctos introduced the Quebec City players to the Ice Hockey Rules of
Nova Scotia which allowed forward passing of the puck. The Quebec team
introduced Goal Posts to the Nova Scotians who were still using rocks
as posts. Following these games, played using Montreal Rules for some
games and Halifax Rules for others, standardization was found to be desirable.
Thus ushered in a new era in Ice Hockey history.
