Before ice hockey there was ice polo. This 1895 photo of
Brown's ice polo team shows the shorter but heavier sticks used in the

played with a small rubber-covered ball instead of a puck. The great
educational philosopher Alexander Meiklejohn, class of 1893, was a
member of the ice polo team at Brown.
