## Abstract

A hockey puck for use on surfaces having high friction resistances such as roads and streets consists of a hard rubber body similar to conventional ice hockey pucks and having Nylon like material fixed to both faces of the puck with knob-like protuberances projection outwardly of the puck faces to cause the puck to ride smoothly, like on ice, when shot across a road surface.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A game piece for use by players using in-line roller skates on high friction surfaces such as roadways and streets comprising in combination; a disc shaped body having planar and parallel end faces and a cylindrical peripheral wall; said game piece being formed of hard rubber and having disc shaped hard plastic riding members covering said end faces to provide relative friction free sliding surfaces thereto;
said end face disc members being held together one with the other by hard plastic rivets passed through the game piece body and integrally formed with the disc face members; and having a lip formed and extending upwardly around the edge of each end piece of the game piece rubber body, to maintain with the action of the rivets, the riding surface members in position on the game piece when stuck by a player.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

A game piece as claimed in claim 1 wherein a plurality of protuberances extend outwardly of the disc surfaces and beyond the lips of the rubber edges of the game piece to insure that the game piece will ride freely over the road surface.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

A game piece as in claim 2 wherein the lips are of hard rubber and integrally formed with the game piece body and where the riding surface members and protuberances are made of nylon.
