Hockey puck
also called Ice hockey puck
About
A standard hockey puck is a dense rubber disk measuring 3 inches across and 1 inch thick.
Regulation game pucks range between 5.5 and 6 ounces, placing this 6-ounce (0.17 kg) model at the top of the official weight standard. Youth leagues often use lighter 4-ounce (0.11 kg) pucks, while players practice with heavier 10-ounce (0.28 kg) pucks to build wrist strength. Variations made for inline hockey share similar dimensions but add small plastic runners to glide on dry surfaces. Before professional games, pucks are kept frozen to prevent bouncing without altering their size.
From Wikipedia
A hockey puck is either an open or closed disk used in a variety of sports and games. There are designs made for use on an ice surface, such as in ice hockey, and others for the different variants of floor hockey which includes the wheeled skate variant of inline hockey.
