h4ckb0x7 3 Report post Posted January 18, 2019 Does anybody know where to order Sher-wood/InGlasCo 960 or 965 Canadian pucks? I can find the Slovakian ones all over the place. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't imagine there's more than one company making pucks in Canada these days. Howie's say they are made in Canada, pretty good bet they are from inGlasCo but I guess you'd have to call them to confirm. I usually buy mine by the bucket at Canadian Tire, which now owns Sherwood, but the InGlasCo piece wasn't part of the deal as far as I know. I'll have to check and see what country's pucks are being sold there next time I'm in the store. colins Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

h4ckb0x7 3 Report post Posted January 19, 2019 I spoke with Howie himself today, their pucks are sourced from Europe. He’s sending me a couple as a sample. I guess all or most of the NCAA D1 teams use them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JR Boucicaut 3816 Report post Posted January 19, 2019 It’s a good puck. We’ve used the branded Howie’s puck for our past 3 events. We’ve used their pucks for 6 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OzziesDad 89 Report post Posted January 19, 2019 Pure Hockey sells a bucket of 18 InGlasCo pucks. I believe they are 960's, but can confirm later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gosinger 122 Report post Posted January 19, 2019 Our local rink banned the usage of a specific type of cheap European puck, as they shattered way more glass than any other. So while the dimensions and weight might all be more or less the same (meaning within the specs), the quality of materials used / manufacturing / composition can still be different between manufacturers, which results in different behavior (chipping, brittleness, ...) at different temperatures.

I would highly doubt they are Canadian 960’s but it would be awesome if you checked. I’d bet they are 965’s IF they are even Canadian. I bought a bucket from Pure and they were InGlasCo Slovakian pucks. Edited January 20, 2019 by h4ckb0x7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not all but some European manufacturers use tires as one source of rubber. This means small rocks and other stuff can make their way into the final puck. As the puck wears away a rock can be exposed and that will break the glass really easy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Better flavor? Dave Our rink got some cheap pucks a few years ago that chipped and split very easily. I'm not sure what exactly made them different, but they were really bad.
