Abstract: An improved hockey puck particularly for street or court play has a cylindrical body and includes on each of its pair of planar faces three or more pistons or deflectable members attached to the puck body and extending above the face surfaces and acting as the sliding surfaces for the puck. Vertical forces applied to this puck are absorbed by springs or other resilient members supporting the pistons allowing the puck to slide with a minimized tendency to roll. In another embodiment, a plurality of resiliently mounted balls absorb vertical forces.

Abstract: An improved hockey puck particularly for street or court play. The puck has a cylindrical body and includes on its pair of planar faces at least one cushioned disk extending above the face surface and acting as the sliding surface for the puck. Angular e.g. vertical forces applied to this puck are absorbed by the cushion allowing the puck to slide with a minimized tendency to roll. In one embodiment, a single disk is located on each face. In another embodiment, a plurality such as three disks are present, each cushioned by an O ring. In other embodiments, an inertial member is rotatably or flexurally mounted along the central axis of the cylindrical body.
