A hockey puck is a black rubber disk that weighs 5 ½ to 6 ounces. The black puck is used most commonly, in youth hockey, in NHL, and other places. A blue puck is used for training beginners because it is lighter than a black puck. It is great for a player to train with because it gets the wrist ready for a black puck. An orange puck is a very heavy puck that is used in practice with advanced players. It is used so a person can train hard so that when the real game comes the black puck will be handled with ease.
