| This is a review of the Green Biscuit training puck. The | | | | weight of a hockey puck. Hockey pucks weigh |
| GB is designed to slide smoothly without flipping over, | | | | between 5.5 oz and 6 oz but the Green Biscuit only |
| just like a regular hockey puck does on the ice. The | | | | weighs 4.4 oz. The reason that it was made light is |
| problem with most off ice pucks is they do not slide | | | | because of friction. The added friction of rough |
| smoothly, most off ice pucks will flip over due to | | | | surfaces makes off ice pucks feel heavier, so in order |
| vibrations and friction. | | | | to closely match the feel of stickhandling on ice the GB |
| Design | | | | was made a bit lighter |
| The unique design of the Green Biscuit reduces | | | | Stickhandling |
| vibration which helps stop the puck from flipping over | | | | We took the Green Biscuit out to an outdoor hockey |
| when sliding, and during stickhandling. The next issue | | | | rink and tested a lot of different moves. We did normal |
| that needed to be addressed was friction that would | | | | stickhandling, quick dekes, toe drags and some fancy |
| reduce the distant a puck can slide. The GB uses a | | | | moves as well, we were able to perform all of these |
| special type of plastic, and also a unique design to | | | | moves just as we would on the ice with a normal |
| reduce contact points, allowing it to slide much further | | | | puck |
| than most off ice pucks. | | | | Passing |
| Size and Weight | | | | We tested quick passes, hard passes, one touch |
| The biscuit is made to be the exact same size as a | | | | passes, backhand passes, and even saucer passes! |
| regular hockey puck, however it is not the exact | | | | |
