NHL Puck Weighs Between 5.5 and 6 Ounces

A Puck Is Made of Hardened Rubber
A hockey puck is a disk made of vulcanized rubber that serves the same functions in various games as a ball does in ball games. The best known of these is ice hockey. A hockey puck is also referred to colloquially as a “floater”.
A hockey puck is vulcanized rubber and measures one inch (25 mm) thick, three inches (76 mm) in diameter, and weighs between five and a half ounces (156 g) and six ounces (170 g). It is frozen prior to use to help keep it hard.
Pucks Are Usually Frozen Before Games
Pucks are usually frozen before games to keep them from bouncing during play. This makes the puck more difficult to control, but it also makes the puck harder and more dangerous. A frozen puck can reach speeds of up to 100 miles per hour when shot on goal.
Pucks are made of vulcanized rubber and are black on one side and white on the other. They weigh between 5.5 and 6 ounces and are 3 inches in diameter.
Pucks Can Be Reused
Pucks can be reused if they are not too damaged. If a puck is cracked or chipped, it will be replaced with a new one. Pucks that are dropped during play will usually have small indents from where players hit them with their sticks. These pucks can still be used, but they may not be as accurate when shooting or passing.
