Temperature can affect a couple of different variables in a ball to alter the distance it will travel from an impact. For inflated balls, the temperature can change the air pressure inside the ball giving an over inflated effect if it was warmed, or and under inflated effect if it was cold. (Have you ever tried dribbling a Basketball without enough air in it?) The amount of air pressure then is directly proportional to the temperature of the air inside.
Yes, rough ice can slow down the speed of the puck in ice hockey as it creates more friction between the puck and the surface. This can affect the puck's ability to glide smoothly and decrease its speed and overall performance on the ice.
The term "puck-stopper"is just one of many names used to refer to the goal-keeper in hockey.

You would find Puck in the Marvel Universe, specifically in the X-Men series. Puck is a superhero known for his acrobatic skills and enhanced abilities in strength and agility.
An air hockey puck typically weighs between 1 and 2.5 ounces.
Applying more force to the puck when shooting it can cause the puck to travel faster and farther, resulting in a higher trajectory.
If the entire puck crosses the goal line and goes into the net, then it is a goal.
My hockey coach always tells me " A good player goes to the puck. A great player goes to where the puck is going to be."

This depends on the flex rating/capability of the stick shaft, the strength of the stick blade and the power of the player shooting the puck.
If you are going to pass the puck to a team mate of the boards, you need to have the proper angle so the pass goes to the teammate. Also when you shoot the puck you need to have the correct angle trajectory so that the puck goes as high as you want.

One of the fairies in A Midsummer Night's Dream is called Robin Goodfellow. His nickname (which he usually goes by) is Puck. A Puck is actually an old word for a kind of fairy.
Andreas Tobias goes by Andi, and Puck.

To heat a hockey puck, you can place it in warm water for a short period, ensuring the water isn't boiling, as extreme heat can damage the puck. Alternatively, you can use a microwave by wrapping the puck in a damp cloth and heating it in short intervals to avoid overheating. Another method is to use a heating pad or a heated surface, but be sure to monitor the temperature closely. Always allow the puck to return to a safe playing temperature before use.
