| Puck Motion |
| The physics of a puck in motion on a horizontal surface can be broken down into two basic types: |
| 1- Linear Motion 2 - Rotational Motion |
| 1- LINEAR MOTION - Below are side views of the three pucks in motion on a horizontal plane: |

| 2- ROTATIONAL MOTION - Below are top views of the three pucks in motion on a horizontal plane: |

| The points of interest that should be noted about the dynamics of puck movement are that: |
| 1- Pucks experience both linear and rotational movement simultaneously. |
| 2- Any type of hockey puck, regardless of construction or playing surface, is subject to both linear and rotational forces. |
