hockey pucks

Frozen game projectiles

Hockey pucks are the hard rubber disks used in ice hockey, about three inches in diameter and one inch thick.

Players use sticks to shoot the puck into the opponent's goal.

The puck's density and speed make it dangerous—goalies wear heavy padding.

Figuratively, a hockey puck is someone dense or slow-witted.
