A puck is a small, flat, circular object used in ice hockey, field hockey, and similar sports. It is typically made of rubber and is designed to slide smoothly across the playing surface. In ice hockey, the puck is usually black, and its hard material allows it to withstand impacts with players' sticks and the surrounding rink.
