A '**Flat Ball**' has been used to describe the closed disc. Although open disc designs have only been used on floors, hockey pucks are built for usage on ice, dry surfaces, or underwater.

An **open** or **closed disc**, a **hockey puck** is used in a variety of sports and pastimes. Here are designs for ice hockey and several floor hockey variations. They're all made to perform the same purpose as a ball in a [game](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/70543/messi-is-the-best-only-for-fans-not-for-the-game-which-made-him) of ball.

**Ringette rings** are **toruses**, and **hockey pucks** in the shape of open discs should not be mistaken with them. **Ringette rings** are devices made to be used in the **ringette sport**. There are two types of ringette rings: one for use on ice and the other for use on dry surfaces, as in a **gym ringette**. A rubber pneumatic torus is used in the ice **game of ringette**.

A conventional **[ice hockey](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/47431/where-did-the-2006-winner-ice-hockey-take-place) puck is black**, **1 inch thick (25 mm), 3 inches in diameter (76 mm), and weighs between 5.5 and 6 ounces (156 and 170 g)**; other pucks are heavier or lighter.

**Silkscreened** team or league **logos** are commonly found on one or both faces of pucks. To decrease bouncing during play, pucks are frozen before the game.

The **word puck** has an **unknown** origin. According to the **Oxford English Dictionary**, the name is derived from the **Scottish Gaelic puc** or the **Irish poc**, which means '**to poke**, **hit**, or **deliver a blow**' and is used in the sport of hurling for striking or pushing the ball.
