Abstract
A hockey puck having integral rollers for use on hard surfaces other than ice. The rollers of the hockey puck, which are captured within and project from both sides of the main body thereof, enable the device to roll across various hard surfaces, overcoming the frictional forces that inhibit the sliding of conventional hockey pucks across surfaces other than ice. The two halves of the puck are securely fastened together using elastic snap members that simplify assembly of the puck while assuring greater reliability and durability.
