The first hockey puck was made of?

In: Ice Hockey [Edit categories]

Answer:

Originally a ball or piece of wood was used. But in the early 1900s, pucks were made of two pieces of old tire rubber glued together. But this puck was very unreliable. So in 1940, Art Ross designed the regulation puck that is still used today.
