Does the temperature effect how far a ball travels?

A hockey puck can travel a far as any object if thrown with enough force! It is solid rubber so it can withstand tremendous force.

More pertinent to the game of hockey, the rink is roughly 200 feet long and a reasonably strong player can shoot the puck that distance (and hit the far boards with force). Accuracy suffers with the longer shot but hitting an open net (6' x 4') is relatively easy, as proven by million dollar intermission winners!
