What is an official NHL hockey puck made of, and what is the history of the hockey puck?

Official NHL Hockey puck made of vulcanized rubber. Hockey puck is colored black to give contrast to the color of ice, which is white. -quote- "Hockey pucks are flat, solid, black disk-shaped objects made of vulcanized rubber.

Regulation National Hockey League (NHL) pucks are black, 3 in (7.6 cm) in diameter, 1 in (2.54 cm) thick, and weighing 5.5-6 oz (154-168 g). The edge has a series of "diamonds," slightly raised bumps or grooves. The diamonds give a taped hockey stick something to grip when the puck is shot.

The blue pucks used in junior hockey are sometimes only 4 oz (143 g). A hockey puck is made of vulcanized rubber. The top and bottom of some pucks are decorated with team and/or league logos.

These logos are silk-screened on to the rubber. The silkscreen process uses a rubber-based ink and four-color processing. In addition to the rubber and silk-screened ink, the FoxTrax puck included several computer components—a lithium battery; 20 infrared emitters; a ceramic oscillator; an accelerometer; CMOS logic and switching; a four-layer, silver-dollar sized circuit board; surface mount parts; and a flexible epoxy to pot the board." -end of quote.

Ice hockey uses a hard puck made out of Vulcanized Rubber as opposed to the original wood before the vulcanization process to make rubber harder and less (often not) sticky. The Standard hockey puck today is black and 170g and flat on the top and bottom, 1 inch thick, and 3 inches in diameter. The history of the puck is pretty vague, nobody knows where the name came from and the current shape is most widely thought to come from a spherical ball being far too "Active" on an ice surface.

Whatever the origins the first recorded use of a modern puck design was in 1875 in Montreal. As for the color, black was presumably chosen simply for convenience and simplicity.

Hard rubber . So its hard enough not to break when hit and enough bounce to absorb the energy and convert it to velocity for maxium speed . I believe its a special vulcanised rubber, first used in its current form early 80s.

But has been made of rubber since 1930s. Hope this helps you sir.

Rubber the most extreme known as Vulcanized Rubber as opposed to the original wood before the vulcanization process to make rubber harder and less (often not) sticky. The Standard hockey puck today is black and 170g and flat on the top and bottom, 1 inch thick, and 3 inches in diameter. Hope this helps.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
