What sporting first occurred 114 years ago last Monday?

It' nicked from another board if anyone wants to cheat.
 
Easy.

The Eastern Canada Amateur Hockey Association is formed from teams in the Canadian Amateur Hockey League and the FAHL. Stanley Cup champion Ottawa and Montreal Wanderers join from FAHL and Montreal, Montreal Shamrocks, Montreal Victorias and Quebec Bulldogs join from the CAHL.
 
Here's another question for those who don't know/have cheated:

What famous sporting item went missing exactly 36 years ago today?
 
Easy.

I haven't googled to see if the answer I've got is correct.
 
The first letter is correct...

Just don't know.

I have found out that it was on this day in 1686 that Robinson Crusoe leaves his island after 28 years (as per Daniel Defoe).

Is that it and you got the year wrong...and the first letter...and that it's sporting?

**** it, I'll just give you the answer as I'm buggering off for a bit and I'll probably forget I posted the question in the first place.

Jules Rimet Trophy, aka the World Cup. Was stolen from the Brazilian FA's headquarters in Rio de Janiero on December 19, 1983 and never recovered.

Where's Pickles when he's needed?

Here's the answer to the OP, now I've copied how to do the spoiler thing off you. <ok>

The answer to the OP is it was the first time ever that anyone’s national anthem was sung before an international sporting event

The crowd sang it in response to New Zealand doing that Hokey Cokey dance of theirs

I think you have put your left foot in it and need to take your left foot out and shake it all about as you might upset the NZers out there by calling it the Hokey Cokey.......
