Air hockey is a game in which two players play against each other on a low friction table. Air hockey requires an air hockey table, two players holding forwards and a hockey puck.

Air hockey is a disc made of Lexan polycarbonate resin. The standard USAA and AHPA approved hockey balls are yellow, red and green. In competitive competitions, place a thin layer of white tape face up. The air table was originally a transfer technology that allowed heavy objects, such as cardboard boxes, to slide easily across the table surface.
