He also wrote articles and books about speed skating and bandy, including several chapters in the Badminton Library book Skating (1892) with John Moyer Heathcote.[3] He wrote a chapter on matches in Holland and Sweden in A Handbook of Bandy by Arnold Tebbutt.[4]
He is said to have been the first player to establish the rules of bandy and popularize the sport in Northern Europe, Sweden, Norway and Denmark.
