I love watching Hockey.

Oh awesome, but consider this there are actually different variations of hockey like bandy, field hockey, and ice hockey! Many people dont know that about it.

I've never heard of bandy.

Yes the origin of the word hockey is unknown but it is thought of as a derivative of hoquet which is a middle french word for shepherd's stave.

When did hockey first start?
1_Wizard
The first recorded use of the word hockey was in 1773 in the book of Juvenile sports nd pastimes to which are prefixed, memoirs of the author: including  anew mode to infant education. All of that is the title so it could have been played beforehand but that is the first recorded use of the title hockey!

What equipment is required to play hockey?
1_Wizard
The ball which in hockey is called a puck, and sticks for each player called hockey sticks. They manuever the puck into the opponen's goal. In hockey ice skates are also required as it is a skating sport which is very hard to do!
