Talk:Hockey puck
Why is this page here instead of at hockey puck?
- I agree, that's a better title. Moved (and links fixed).

Word origin
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

Ice hockey pucks frozen?
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)
Page move (2007)
This page needs to be moved to Puck (sports), rewritten slightly to discuss the general concept of a puck and what games it applies to, and then have the bulk of the rest of the article be about ice hockey pucks, since that's what we have the most material on. Right now it is confusing to readers to have links like puck in articles like Novuss. As this pucks article get broader and broader, the current name makes less and less sense. — SMcCandlish [talk] [contrib] ツ 10:05, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
