The '''Ice Hockey Varsity Match''' is a longstanding competition between the [[Cambridge University Ice Hockey Club|Cambridge]] and [[Oxford University Ice Hockey Club]]s.

Tradition places the origin of the match in 1885, when a game is said to have been played in St Moritz.<ref>Phil Drackett, ''Flashing Blades''</ref> This date is recognised by the [[Hockey Hall of Fame]], and prior to the 1985 Varsity Match, the [[International Ice Hockey Federation]] formally recognised the game played a century earlier as having been the first ice hockey match played in Europe.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20020320214131/http://www.ouihc.org/historybeg.asp Oxford University Ice Hockey Club: Murky Beginnings]</ref> However, there is no contemporary evidence that the 1885 match took place, and Oxford now claim that it was a bandy match.<ref name="results">[http://users.ox.ac.uk/~ouihc/varsity_past.html Oxford University Ice Hockey Club: Past Results]</ref> If the 1885 date is accepted, this is the oldest rivalry in ice hockey.<ref>[http://www.societies.cam.ac.uk/cuihc/index2.htm Cambridge University Ice Hockey Club]</ref><ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20020516223034/http://www.ouihc.org/truthrumors.asp Oxford University Ice Hockey Club: Truth & Rumours]</ref>

The oldest surviving evidence of the competition is a team photo and roster from 1895, for a game played on Blenheim Lake in Oxford, although this was definitely a bandy match.<ref name="results" /> The first match usually counted as an ice hockey contest is that of 16 March 1900 at Princes Skating Club, although at Oxford's insistence, it was played using bandy sticks and a lacrosse ball.<ref>Martin C. Harris, ''Homes of British Ice Hockey''</ref>

The following year, another Varsity Match was played at Princes, this time with hockey skates and a puck. However, a 1902 match at Blenheim Lake was again a bandy match.<ref name="results" />

The competition became established in 1909; the two universities then met each other on a European rink each year until World War I.<ref name="results" /> From 1927, the match has been played for the '''Patton Cup''', named for [[Peter Patton]], the first President of the [[British Ice Hockey Association]].<ref>[http://www.azhockey.com/Va.htm A to Z Encyclopaedia of Ice Hockey]</ref> It was then played most years until 1932, when it returned to England, being played at [[Richmond Ice Rink]].<ref name="results" /> The annual matches of the 1930s may no longer have been of professional standard, but they were able to attract crowds up to 10,000 strong.<ref>[http://www.societies.cam.ac.uk/cuihc/history.htm Cambridge University Ice Hockey Club: History]</ref>

Other than a gap during World War II, the matches have continued annually ever since, and since 1996 have alternated between [[Oxford Ice Rink]] and a rink nominated by Cambridge (who do not have a home rink). Oxford, often strengthened by Rhodes Scholars have won more than two-thirds of the encounters.<ref name="results" />

==Notes==
The 1924 Varsity Match was not played. The following reason was given in Peter Patton's 1936 ''Ice Hockey'' publication: "The Oxford committee was in favor of its being played again at Murren, but for some reason arrangements for it to be so could not be made. Both the Oxford and Cambridge teams during their respective tours were at St. Moritz at the same time in January. The writer was asked to negotiate with them for the Varsity match to be played there. Cambridge were willing to play on the terms offered to them by the hotels, but Oxford would not agree to them and so the match fell through."
