Pile o' Pucks

You don't need a bunch of pucks to practice shooting with.  One single puck is enough.  But, after every shot you have to retrieve the puck.  So while you don't NEED a bunch of pucks, it sure is nice to have more.



Just for fun, here's a shot looking into my milk crate full of pucks.  There's about 50 in there, along with a FlyPuck, two Green Biscuits and two Snipes.

If you're in a sporting goods store, pick up a puck or two.  If you're at your local rink, stop in the shop and get a few (helps to support them too).  You can get pucks by the dozen on Amazon.  I pick up a dozen once in a while when they're on sale for about fifteen bucks.

You don't have to break the bank, and you don't need to get a bunch all at once.

BUT, if you can get a bunch all at once (Santa?  Are you listening?)...

Regular ol' hockey pucks cost about a dollar in Canada.  In the US, you can expect to pay a dollar and a half or more, depending on how many you buy all at once. 

And then there are these amazing deals from PatriotPuck.  First off, shipping is free.  Always.  A box of 25 pucks costs $24.99.  Best price around, but it gets better.  Buy a box of 50 and you pay $38.99, and a box of 100 is 77.95.  That's pretty amazing.

So, do you need 100 pucks?  Nope.  Do I recommend getting more than just a few?  Absolutely.  You see my crate o' pucks above.  I'm putting in an order for another 50, and my granddaughter might find a box of 25 under the Christmas tree.
