Hockey Trivia Answer: The Official Weight of an NHL Ice Hockey Puck

The official weight of an NHL ice hockey puck is between 5.5 and 6 ounces. Official ice hockey
pucks are made of hard vulcanized rubber. In some instances, such as youth leagues, lighter
pucks may be used. These youth ice hockey pucks are generally blue in color and weigh 4 ounces.
There are other variants on traditional ice hockey pucks such as heavier training pucks, pucks
for roller hockey, and a real man’s hockey puck: a two pound steel puck for practice purposes only!

Ice hockey was not always played with a puck though. Initially, ice hockey was played with a
rubber ball. But due to the ball’s tendency to break windows and people, the top and bottom
were shorn, purportedly by an angry rink owner. To further insure the safety of hockey players
and hockey fans alike, ice hockey pucks are now frozen prior to game time as freezing the puck
retards its tendency to fly into the stands or become air born.

Point of interest  and humor! Have you ever wondered if you could blend hockey pucks in a blender?
