The weight of a hockey puck changes the shot a lot. A lighter puck can not be hit as hard and their more of a posibility of the trajectory being off. A heavier puck will be too heavy to be shot at high speeds, therefore the shot wouldn't be quite as hard.

The weight of a hockey puck does influence the shot, as a heavier puck may require more force to shoot accurately and with power. Players need to adjust their technique and power accordingly based on the weight of the puck being used.

There is no rolling of the wrist to propel the puck. It is very basic and it is indeed a shot.***
