Puckeen (from Irish language, Gaeilge) is a number of things: it's a blind-fold or blinker often used for animals including goats (Puck is a male or Billy goat); it is a ball-game like football - the ball is the puckeen (maybe this is where the "puck" in ice-hockey comes from); it's a game the same as blind-man's buff.; and it's also connected to something otherworldly, related to the Sidhe or fairy folk, that is there but which cannot be seen in this world or by us mortals. It's context will make it clear which kind of puckeen you're talking about but, note, with the exception of the ball example, all the others connect to sight or lack of sight..
