How are different types of hockey pucks made?
546395
Ice hockey pucks used in regulation game play are made of vulcanized rubber.  One assumes they're made the way most rubber things are, which is by pouring rubber into a mold, or two molds and then joining the two pieces.  Then they'd probably get stamped with whatever league logo, and packaged.\n\nPucks are an inch thick by three inches across, and are frozen before games to make them easier to control.\n\nThere are different kinds of pucks... weighted practice pucks, junior pucks, and plastic pucks used in street hockey.\n\n\n***\n\n(After realizing I wasn't 100% sure about how even regulation pucks were made, I went and looked the process up and found a very informative site:  http://www.madehow.com/Volume-6/Hockey-Puck.html  Hope that helps!)

I used to make them as well..if you hold up three of your fingers.. this is the shape to put the sticks to start...Then insert the other two sticks horizontaly between the other ones. There is also a kite version..but its very hard to describe how to make it.

ok!\nthe zamboni was invented by someone called frank j. zamboni (obviously) \nfirst it uses a blade to shave the top of the ice that people have picked on and made bumps, holes, ect. \nthen another blade collects the shavings into a snow tank.\nthen, water is rushed through from the wash-water tank to the 'conditioner' which vacumes, filter and returns the water back to the tank. \nLast, clean warm water is spread on the ice by a towel (sorta like a squeege) and left to freeze. if the 'fridge' underneath the ice isnt cold enough, when you go on the ice, it's still obviously wet, but its fun for kids to play with!

Goaltenders need the following equipment and it generally goes on in this order.  Some people may do it differently, but it's impossible to do it drastically different.\n1) Cup (most important piece of equipment!)\n2) Garter belt and socks\n- Some people wear shorts with velco tabs to hold the socks up and a built in cup.\n3) Hockey Pants\n4) Skates\n5) Leg pads\n6) Chest protector\n7) Helmet/mask\n8) Gloves\n\nThere are several types of saves.  Kick save, glove save, blocker save, stick save, etc.  Below are a couple of links that are probably a bit more relevant.  These contain information about goaltending styles and cover the specific saves.\nhttp://www.epinions.com/content_3906773124\nhttp://www.mitchkorn.com/pdf/Goaltending%20Styles.pdf

Back in the day, hockey sticks were made from Rock Elm.  This wood was preferred because it was so strong yet light.  Since the Dutch Elm disease outbreak in the early 90's wiped out most of the supply, manufactures changed to White Ash (same thing most baseball bats are made of).  It's not as strong, but it's about 1/5 of the cost.\n\nIt's pretty rare to find a wood stick nowadays - sometimes wood blades, but not a wood stick.  They make the sticks in a very similar way to baseball bats.  The manufactures find a very straight grain in a piece of wood, cut to the desired length, and cut out a notch (hole) for the blade.  A wood, wood/fiberglass, or carbon composite blade is then inserted in the notch.  It's pretty rare to find a one-piece wood.  These were extremely expensive to make, and if you snapped your blade,  the whole stick had to be junked.  Two-piece designs allow you to snap the blades all you want and still re-use the same stick over and over.\n\nHowever there isn't much to a one-piece wood stick.  The manufactures took a larger diameter tree and cut with the grain and across the widest part of the tree for the blade.  This process would yield about 2 one-piece sticks for every 6' of wood.  Not too efficient.

Ya like that guy said, also like the golf ball is dimpled to cut throught the air easier, the puck travels a more true path.

Nike Bauer is by far my favorite brand.  I depend on them greatly while playing roller hockey, and they really make skating much more fun.\nBut it depends on which area of roller blading you plan on doing.\nFor men's hockey skates, I recommend visiting:\nhttp://hockeymonkey.com/inlineskates.html.\nOn the other hand, if you're planning on more outdoors skating, then I recommend:\nhttp://www.k2skates.com/.\n\nI hope this helped you.

Hockey pucks are frozen to keep them more stable on the ice.  When they're frozen they bounce, wobble, skitter and skip less.

Because of the weight of the sticks, you will probably need to split them into 1/4 or 1/8 widths, wet them and curve then for the wing shape (rounded on top), and then glue them in a framework. Use tissue paper. If you make a propeller, you could power it with a wound rubber band.\n\nConstructions such as this were made by aeronautic teenagers 50 years ago, but they usually used balsa wood.

The best hockey skates are Bauer Vapor XX or Vapor XXX because they are so lite.\n\nThe best hockey sticks is an Easton Synergy either the green one or the silver with red or silver with blue.
