 Shillelagh
There is some evidence which suggests that the use of Irish stick weapons may have evolved in a progression from a reliance on long spears and wattles, to shorter spears and wattles, to the shillelagh, alpeen, flthorn (walking-stick) and short cudgel.
Within these categories there are further divisions based on whether or not the stick has a knob or iron ferrules at the end(s).
In my upcoming book Shillelagh: The Story Of The Irish Stick, I discuss in great detail how by the 19th century, the term Shillelagh had come to be used in a general way to describe the many different kinds of stick weapons used in Ireland.

Until the mid-1980s it was generally accepted that ice hockey derived from English field hockey and Indian lacrosse and was spread throughout Canada by British soldiers in the mid-1800s.
The players adopted elements of field hockey, such as the "bully" (later the face-off) and "shinning" (hitting one's opponent on the shins with the stick or playing with the stick on one "shin" or side); this evolved into an informal ice game later known as shinny or shinty.
The name hockey--as the organized game came to be known--has been attributed to the French word hoquet (shepherd's stick).
