Puck Colour?

Hey everyone, having a pretty rough day hockey wise. I went to hockey at 8:00 in the game we were winning 4 - 3 with 6 seconds they score with a knuckle puck slap shot, from about 5 feet from the blue line. it ends in a tie. then I come home and find out i didn't make the canada west team. kinda depressing to say the least.

back on topic, what colour of pucks do you use? we always use a orange puck and i have a lot of trouble seeing it just like that goal today,

I love rocket pucks when im playing out because they are nice and heavy and i can rip them. Oh yeah we usually use red ones, guys around here seem to have a hard time picking up the black ones.

We're supposed to use black, but I often see red, neon orange, and highlighter yellow.

Our league uses black CCM pucks, I struggle to keep sight of any other color puck, which is why I look lazy in warmups. As I'm scared to move because I loose sight of colored pucks.

We use black pucks on blue sportcourt.

I used to play in a league that played on a wood roller floor and sometimes they tried to use red pucks. They were impossible to see!

pucks

We have a silver CP1 Sport Court here in Salt Lake. You'd think with the Sport Court world headquarters located here they could at least up grade us to Attak tile . Any way we use all sorts of colors witch realy sucks beacuse i'm color Blind and when we play a team that knows that they always use a red or green ISD puck. However I love the Orange pucks easy to track.

I play on blue sportcourt, black pucks during games, any which colour we have during warmups... I prefer using the black, and the orange work well too.

I play on blue sport court as well. I can only see Black and Orange well enough to use them during a game. Other colors tend to blend in for me even though I am not color blind at all.......

in the league we use black mach1's but in training we have black,blue,green, yellow, and pink neon. the pink is by far the hardest to track once it leaves the floor.

I dont like the orange puck apparently they are the CERS(the european hockey body under FiRS) official pucks and we used them in the European Championships they are incredibly difficult to see. they "dissapear" on the boards if someone dumps hard around and they are hard to see on range slap shots.

In our league we use either red or black pro shots and i like them red is my favorite.

In our league, we're supposed to use black all the time, but for the past couple of games we've used orange. Would be loving it, but I sat out with an injury.
Nough said, three straight losses to the Rangers.
