What is 10,000 Pucks?

 

10,000 Pucks is designed to allow players to track their shots 365 days a year. Each summer we run a contest to see who can shoot the most pucks - this contest runs from May 1 - August 31. Players can begin tracking shots any time, but only shots logged during the contest dates will count toward the contest totals.

Our goal with this platform is not simply focused on the quantity of shots, but on the setting and achieving of goals for hockey players.

Best of all, 10k Pucks is free for all users.

8U/Mites: 3,000 Pucks

  • Pull the puck to your body and shoot
  • Shot begins with puck at the side of the body and behind back foot
