Description
Some of the most memorable Monarch achievements during the last decade .
Cast your mind back for a moment to the "cane and leather hockey era" which dated pre. 1987. Remember if you will the soggy leather gloves, twisting cane legguards, and steel toed kickers which gave sub standard protection. That was then, before the lightweight protection of foam goalkeeping equipment came about.
Do you recall the foam revolution of 1987 which brought about a whole new era of hockey?
1987 - Monarch invented the revolutionary patented design for foam kickers with a unique strapping arrangement. These were first introduced into the international circuit and were first used by Great Britain's Goalkeeper in the 1988 Seoul Olympics, where Britain captured the Gold medal.
1989 - Monarch launched the first foam legguards on to the market to complement the already popular foam kickers. David Luckes and Val Hallam of England and Great Britain were very impresesed by the lightweight protection offered by Monarch's goalkeeping equipmentk which increased their mobility and they have continued to use Monarch equipment ever since.
