We know the Frozen Four will skate on Pond Ice.. but will they play with Pond
Pucks or pucks provided by the NCAA?
 
If they use the official Pond, Anaheim puck, it will be CSA certified. The
only puck that comes with certification was requested by the NHL over a year
ago. This recent move by the NHL  covers them against insurance claims by
Mega-Mill players. The certified puck is not made of steel belted radial tires
like other pucks. With puck velocities in the NHL at speeds of 80 plus MPH, a
little less steel would do a face good.
 
I'm assuming, that the pucks dropped will be Frozen Final Four, NCAA pucks
made from steel belted radial rubber.
 
Safety always seems to revolve around monetary consequences.
 
Certainly a college puck flies that fast.
