A hockey puck is disclosed for use on any indoor or outdoor hard surface. A collapsible and resilient sidewall structure defining a cavity and air relief means provides the hockey stick contacting portion as well as, impact shock absorbing means to protect other players or spectators. Such structure is joined by top and bottom walls means to provide durable wearing surface for all hard surfaces including ice, as well as, driveways, streets, sidewalks, playgrounds and the like. In addition to the official regulation dimension numerous other sizes, as well as, composite embodiments may be provided with desired sliding, visibility and roll-preventing capabilities, in addition to the impact safety features. A range of plastic materials provide the cavity-defining wall of a selected specific gravity and elasticity characteristic which is lower and softer than the central body portion. Further embodiments employ a hard rubber material body member having a cavity adjacent the contact sidewall means as well as the air relief means.
