Abstract: An improved hockey puck for use on unsmooth surfaces such as streets and parking lots consisting of two generally equal sized disks. Sandwiched between the two disks is an energy absorbing member or members. Springs or foam washers can serve as these members. The two disks are loosely connected together so that only one will receive the direct impact from striking a imperfection in the street or other playing surface. The energy absorbing members dampen the forces transferred between the two puck disks. This results in a puck which can travel across rough surfaces with a greatly reduced likelihood of tumbling or bouncing. The improvement of the hockey puck specifically consists of the addition of a fortifying member positioned within either or both disks of the improved hockey puck.
