Ice Hockey was originally played with a hard rubber ball, however it's spherical shape caused it to bounce out of the rink too often. According to the story the first puck was invented by a referee who cut two slices off of the ball leaving a rubber disk when frustrated about the frequency with which he had to retrieve the ball.
