Why is this page here instead of at hockey puck?

I agree, that's a better title. Moved (and links fixed).

I feel strongly that the word puck comes from the same root as the Scottish Gaelic for shinty ball ie cnapag (knapuk), this would have been elided down into 'puck' by our French Irish and English speaking friends. Seems perfectly straight forward to me. Al Hunter

Is it true that the pucks are frozen before play?64.236.170.228

Yes, they bounce too much if they aren't frozen.142.59.153.99 07:47, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
