ZM: Interestingly men’s ice hockey became a sport at the Summer Olympic Games in Belgium; it became a part of the first Olympic Winter Games when held in 1924 in Chamonix, France. Women’s ice hockey appeared 74 years later at the 1998 Olympic Winter Games in Nagano, Japan. The game is nicknamed “Miracle on Ice”.

K: I can imagine those were very thrilling games; no wonder ice hockey is so popular and attracts large crowds to the matches. Thanks for this information.
