ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a new street hockey puck for providing a playing and scoring medium for use on hard synthetic playing surfaces such as concrete, asphalt, and the like, during a game of street hockey. The puck has playing characteristics which simulate the response of a conventional puck during a game of ice hockey, particularly the characteristic of sliding flat rather than bouncing and rolling across the playing surface. The new street hockey puck is resistant to wear from the abrasive playing surfaces frequently employed for street hockey. The street hockey puck comprises a toroidal core formed of rigid steel surrounded by a helically wound outer sidewall structure of spring steel rod. The outer sidewall structure forms an impact surface having repeatable resilient characteristics whereby a skilled player may predictably manipulate the puck. The sidewall is essentially circular in cross section to prevent the puck from rolling on edge for further improved control.
