Ice Hockey Australia The birthplace of ice hockey in Australia was in the Melbourne Glaciarium in Melbourne and was the first time and place that ice hockey had been played in the country. An exhibition of ice hockey was held at the end of the opening night of the Melbourne Glaciarium on the afternoon of 9 June 1906, at 16 City Road, South Melbourne Victoria. The first recorded game of ice hockey in Australia was on Tuesday 17 July 1906 and was between a Victorian representative team and the American sailors from the visiting American warship the USS Baltimore.

The word "jumper" is also used to describe a guernsey. The typical guernsey features the player's number on the back, the colors of the player's team, and the team logo. Sponsor logos may also appear on Guernsey. Unlike sports such as soccer and American football, the surnames of Australian rules footballers do not appear on their shirts. Australian rules football is unique in referring to the player's shirt as a "Guernsey" with most other sports referring their respective uniforms as a "jersey".
