What is a good surface to shoot ice hockey pucks off of?

I have a good PVC pipe hockey net, but i don't have anywhere to shoot pucks at it! The best place is in my backyard, but the ground is rough concrete and grass, is there something i could get that i could just put on the ground and take off when i don't want to shoot?|||A sheet of HDPE. Order it at the site below. Make sure you get 1/4" thick. It's cheaper than shooting pads you get in stores because it comes straight from the factory and isn't name brand. I've had mine for probably 5 months and it's in perfect condition(besides scratches and marks from the pucks and stick.) It doesn't crack like Plexiglass does after a couple shots. You'll save about $20 if you order off this site instead of stores.|||Regular ice hockey pucks will shatter a PVC net, stick to street hockey puck or balls until you get a metal goal. The best and cheapest thing I have found is a scrap piece of linoleum from Lowes or Home Depot. It is very similar to shooting off ice and very inexpensive.|||If it is PVC do NOT use ice pucks. Either upgrade your net or just use street pucks.


As for a good affordable surface to shoot pucks off - %26gt;a plastic mat like what people


have in their garage / driveway to keep oil / gas that spil out of a car onto the ground|||Artificial/synthetic ice plate or any other plastic plate you will find at your local hardware store. Advice: I agree with the others, using pucks is not a good idea. Besides that, you can use roller hockey pucks, light-weight pucks or foam pucks.|||Pvc and ice hockey pucks don't mix


Get street or floor hockey pucks and shoot the of pelxiglass|||Plexiglass|||Ice.|||Shoot off Phil Kessels' nuts. He doesn't use them.
