Official hockey pucks are one-inch thick, three inches in diameter, and normally weigh six ounces. A typical puck is often marked or printed with the league or team logo on one or both faces. Pucks can reach speeds of up to 100 miles per hour in a game, making them potentially dangerous to players and spectators. This is one of the reasons why players are required to wear proper safety gear while playing.
A standard hockey puck is a black disk made of vulcanized rubber. It weighs 5.5 to 6 ounces.
Blue pucks
A blue hockey puck is used for training younger players. It weighs around 4 ounces. Orange pucks
An orange hockey puck is heavy at around 10 ounces. It is used to develop the strength of the shots and stick handling skills in training. It comes in various shades of orange (such as reddish pink or reddish orange).
Weight: Choose blue pucks for training children, young adults and beginners. To train strength and handling, use Orange Hockey Pucks. Standards: Look for a hockey puck that conforms to your league's weight regulations. In some instances, slight half-pound differences matter.
