When was air hockey invented?

Answer 1

In the original period around the beginning of the 20th century, a few manufacturers began to make gloves and leg pads for players. The gloves had some padding on the figers and the back of the hand, with horsehair as the stuffing. The leg pads had narrow stiched vertical pads and agains they had horsehair stuffing and a bendable knee section. As the game evolved, shoulder and elbow pads were developed, as were goalie pads. The materials were all natural with leather and wool and canvas for different parts. By the 1950's the use of plastic and foam padding was common. By the 1980's the use of synthetic materials and ballistic nylon was seen. Now the modern hockey equipment is light but strong and no leather is used as it rots too quickly. The only exception to that are the gloves, which still have a leather palm for a better grip on the stick when shooting the puck.
