flypuck_postDeveloping stickhandling skills is paramount to excelling as a hockey player. However, on-ice practice never offers enough time to fully perfect these skills. The FlyPuck from HockeyShot.com is designed to provide on-ice feel off the ice. So does it live up to its claims? Here is our review of the FlyPuck:

Overview: The FlyPuck from HockeyShot.com is a training puck that glides easily over concrete, asphalt and cement, enabling players to practice their stickhandling movement off-ice wearing shoes or inline skates.

How it works: The FlyPuck has been designed to offer on-ice feel off the ice. Available in three weights, FlyPuck gives you a smooth stickhandling feel and is designed not to roll over when at full speed.

Parent and Player Perspective: The FlyPuck is supposed to let you practice stickhandling off-ice on concrete, asphalt and cement. In fact, it works quite nicely in the house on carpet and hardwood floors, too—if you’re allowed to do that. It glides inside and out without tumbling, making it ideal for practicing stickhandling and new moves. Our Mite tester pronounced the 4 oz version “awesome” with the 6 oz version better for Squirt, PeeWee and Bantam players.
