[/quote:omruf5kq]Yeah we need a puck solution. SK8 just got an order in of about 100 pucks including some strange white and pink pucks. I think they sell for about $3.50.
Maybe we could figure out a way to fund new pucks for the club and use the new ones on the ice a retire the old pucks to the gallery.
If you want to be recreate anything in the shooting gallery more than the way that ice pucks fly through the air, you really should invest in the decent inline pucks. Ice pucks don’t handle well on concrete, they don’t shoot the same.
Decent inline pucks are unfortunately about $20 each, but they’re truly worth it.
If people really want crappy pucks, the inline club might be able to help out with some of our more munted ones (these are actually good for shooting, but no good for puck handling or passing). Jenel has these at the moment, but I’ll need to retrieve the decent ones out first, as they’re mine.
Hows about they just put that sythetic ice stuff in a sqaure around the goal that way it wont cost anywhere near as much…? and the goalies wont get stuffed gear

So you’d need to cover the whole surface which isn’t really an option. Or indent the surface into the concrete which is also not viable. It would be really annoying not being able to practice deking the goalie on inline skates too as the synthetic ice would get in the way.
The consensus (at least among the small group of experts I’ve asked so far) is to use a plastic roller rink surface which would also not damage the goalie gear. Cost would be somewhere around $2000.
Ryan,
