Street Hockey Balls & Pucks

Is a Ball Used in Street Hockey?

To play street hockey, you can opt for a puck or a street hockey ball. While the goal can be makeshift, playing without something to strike with the hockey sticks is challenging.

There are many types of hockey balls that work for street hockey, but they vary significantly in both weight and hardness. If a street hockey ball is your choice, the weather conditions are an important consideration.

Temperature greatly affects the ball's bounce and its interaction with both the surface and your hockey stick. When playing in cold conditions, selecting a soft ball is crucial. Conversely, in hot summer weather, a very hard ball is essential. Overall, street hockey balls are ideal for play on rough concrete or asphalt.

In contrast, street hockey pucks are typically lighter than their ice hockey counterparts, crafted from lightweight plastic to glide smoothly over concrete and indoor surfaces.
