What's your definition of "organized"?

Tough to define rigourously, especially if we go back very far in time, but let's say "in a league".So today, some kid playing Bantam or Pee-Wee C in Canada for a year would qualify.

Has to be ice hockey though, not roller blade or cosom.

All-time, everywhere in the whole world.
