Abstract
A practice ice hockey puck is provided for indicating, in relative terms, the energy of impact when the puck is driven into a solid object. The puck has a cylindrical case extending about a central axis and defining an axially extending well containing a housing which in turn contains an indicator arranged to move angularly against frictional restraint. A driver is coupled to the indicator so that on impact, the energy in the driver is transferred to the indicator to move the indicator angularly relative to the housing against the frictional restraint. The degree of angular movement of the indicator relative to the housing is recorded on a scale thereby showing the user in relative terms the energy of impact.
