You name the NHL team, we have it. NHL hockey puck construction is interesting too. Just as the originals were, in today's hockey, NHL puck contains about 90% synthetic and rubber fillers with sulfur and anti-oxidants added to cure and harden the object. After pouring into cylinders and cut into the official size (1" x 3"), they are heated for 20-22 minutes and then labels or silk screening are applied. Many pucks have patterns on the sides for better adherence when struck by the stick.
