A practice hockey puck to be used by a young player to learn how to pick up a hockey puck off the ice with the blade of his hockey stick or to stickhandle on pavement or asphalt. The puck is like an ordinary puck but with a lower, outer, annular portion removed, thereby moving the outer peripheral edge of the bottom surface of the puck inwardly from the outer peripheral edge of the top portion of the puck. The outer peripheral edge of the bottom surface acts as a pivot edge. A portion of the puck lies outside this pivot edge. Pressing on this portion of the puck with the blade of the stick allows the player to easily pivot the puck about the pivot edge onto its side starting the process of picking the puck up with the stick. When the practice puck is inverted it can be used to practice stickhandling on a non-ice surface such as pavement or asphalt. The puck, in its inverted position, is contacted by the stick at a lower height on the puck making it less easy to tilt or tumble than a regular puck and thus easier to stickhandle on a difficult surface.
