A hockey puck can travel a far as any object if thrown with enough force! It is solid rubber so it can withstand tremendous force.

More pertinent to the game of hockey, the rink is roughly 200 feet long and a reasonably strong player can shoot the puck that distance (and hit the far boards with force). Accuracy suffers with the longer shot but hitting an open net (6' x 4') is relatively easy, as proven by million dollar intermission winners!

Why does your golf ball fade to the right?

Assuming you're a right-handed player, the ball goes left because either

1. you are pulling it, by coming across the target line from outside to inside with the clubface closed, or

2. you are hooking it, coming across the line from inside to outside with the clubface square or somewhat closed.

Actually, if you are coming from slightly inside and hitting it with a square clubface, that's a draw, and it's usually considered to be a good thing. The motion from right-to-left will be relatively gentle, and if you can learn to control it you can get excellent carry and roll from that shot, as well as being able to bend it around obstacles.
