A Handbook of Bandy; or, Hockey on the Ice

A copy of the book.

A Handbook of Bandy; or, Hockey on the Ice was written by Arnold Tebbutt with help from his brothers, Neville and Charles Goodman, in 1896. It was the first book published on ice hockey (bandy).

Preface

"In placing this Handbook on Bandy before the public, it is the object of the Editor to increase the knowledge of the only sport played on the ice by skaters, and to facilitate the arrangement of matches.

It being the first book written on this subject, the information is necessarily far from complete, the editor will therefore be glad to receive further particulars from any person for insertion in case at a future time a further edition of this book is issued."
