Gear, sizing and care
Pucks, sticks, skates and sizing, with the official sizes and weights.
Pucks
A hockey puck is 3 inches wide and 1 inch thick. It weighs from 5.5 to 6 ounces. The 2026 to 2027 NHL rulebook sets those numbers in Rule 13.
Game pucks are black discs of vulcanized rubber. NHL game pucks also carry infrared emitters, and arena cameras pick up their signals up to 60 times a second.
Jerseys
Fanatics is the NHL’s official jersey outfitter, and fans can buy four styles: Breakaway, Premium, Authentic Pro and Practice. Breakaway uses letter sizes. Premium and Authentic Pro use numbers like 50.
A Pro runs wider than a Premium of the same number. The jersey sizing guide has the full charts and a free size finder.
Rinks
An NHL rink is 200 feet long and 85 feet wide, with corners rounded at a 28 foot radius (Rule 1.2). International rinks are 60 meters long and 26 to 30 meters wide.
Each goal line sits 11 feet from the end boards, and each blue line sits 64 feet out from the goal line. That leaves a neutral zone of 50 feet.
