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.
this is a good question. as far as the who, i havent a clue, but as far as the when, there are alot of stories
the story that i like is the one where a bunch of kids were playing with a ruber ball in an ice rink in Canada. this large ball was shot and broke the some glass in or near the ice rink
the angry owner chopped of the ends of the rubber ball, trying to make it so they couldn't play. but instead of leaving, the kids continued to play with this short cylinder of rubber. it worked well enough, and they took a bunch of rubber balls and cut the ends off and it eventually was excepted as the games objective
The modern rules for the game of Field Hockey was invented in 1849, the same year as the first club to use those rules.
