Broken Pucks
While viewing the Luverne and Totino consolation championship game I could help but notice something very odd. Three Pucks broke in half during play. I once saw a video of a guy in Europe really wrenching on a slap shot and hitting a pipe from 15 feet away and the puck split. This was not a situation like that. The puck was in a simple pass play all three times i beleve.
Has anyone seen this happen before? Especially three times in one game?
Did this happen during any of the other games at mariucci?

I was at the game and saw two of the instances and I don't think they were broken pucks, looked like each time an extra puck just came into play. the first one I think came out of the goalies pads (maybe stuck in there from warm ups and came loose) not sure about the other one.
I've seen that a couple times in youth games, never twice in one game.

I was there, and it happened 3 times. And it wasn't another puck (which I initially thought as well). The puck split into 2 pieces, the circular way. So it was like having 2 mini pucks from 1.nofinish wrote:I was at the game and saw two of the instances and I don't think they were broken pucks, looked like each time an extra puck just came into play. the first one I think came out of the goalies pads (maybe stuck in there from warm ups and came loose) not sure about the other one.

It was without a doubt, the puck breaking in half the flat way. I was close to the ice and saw it each time.nofinish wrote:I was at the game and saw two of the instances and I don't think they were broken pucks, looked like each time an extra puck just came into play. the first one I think came out of the goalies pads (maybe stuck in there from warm ups and came loose) not sure about the other one.

It was not a foreign object.
Three pucks broke on three separate occasions.

I could have understood if it was something like this.clean ice wrote:My son played in the State tourny and received a puck. The pucks were made in CHINA. I can't believe the MSHL would go that cheap route. I have never seen a puck split in half let alone 3 in one game.

But, it was a breakout pass twice and a simple play the other time. Still very bizarre to me.

"Non Marking" pucks... they are junk.
