StaleWhy is this page here instead of athockey puck?
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
Is it true that the pucks are frozen before play?64.236.170.228
ResolvedThis page needs to be moved toPuck (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 likepuck in articles likeNovuss. 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)[reply]

Puck (sports) →Hockey puck — Despite what SMcCandlish wroteabove, this article is still almost exclusively about hockey pucks, and I submit that's the common name for the item (absent just "puck" which is ambiguous). If the article is ever expanded to include information about other types of pucks (though I submit they perhaps might go in their own articles), then we can discuss changing the name back. Until then, this article is clearly only about (ice/roller/water) hockey pucks. --PowersT15:48, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I have just deleted the paragraph regarding the icing rule. It is irrelevant to this article about the puck itself. I am also going to delete the paragraph about the penalty for shooting the puck over the glass. It follows the paragraph about the death of the young girl. But that is not why the rule was introduced (4 years after the incident). So it misleads the reader into thinking there is a relationship.AtHomeIn神戸 (talk)09:21, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
