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!

Well to be honest, I was thinking of doing this for a science fair project and tested that, When the puck is cool it go's allot farther. A warmer Puck will tend to bounce because when its heated the coils inside unravel which makes it bounce. That's why, before a game they freeze the puck.

Yes it does, in cold weather the ball doesn't go as far, in warm weather it goes further, but not by a massive distance.
