"66" Hockey pucks. This needs a thread of its own. And I thought that it was bad when kids don't pick up their baseballs or softballs.


What do you do with them? I sell my baseballs in garage sales.image

    I did sell a few in a garage sale and a box of 100 a few years back to a co- worker that did a weekly open hockey ice rental. Some of them go back to the pond with my sons for a skate. A few go into my collection( if they are in good shape and have a cool team or pic) but most are sitting in boxes in my garage. I should count them some day. 😊

    If you had kids who played hockey - that would be great. I'd love to find 66 hockey pucks so I would never have to buy anymore

    << <i>Donate them to a local club or high school? >>


    I have donated a few buckets of practice pucks to the teams when my kids were playing. My son manages a rink in NYC so I give him some if he drives home.(too heavy to carry on plane, bus or train)
    I'm up to 70 for the year but I think that might be it.

    I used to work in the ice arena management field and we would collect literally hundreds of pucks left behind after hockey games and practices over the course of a season. Not only that but they could be found in the ceiling rafters, on top of any high-up flat spot and even perched on top of EXIT signs and behind or in the slightest cubby hole. In one rink we had a low-emissive ceiling that used to sag a lot. We later found over 75 pucks that had somehow made their way on top of it.

    My Grandson went to an Easter egg hunt in the area of the pond. He didn't find any eggs but he did find a puck. Don't know how I missed one.
