"Catch Kids Doing Something Good" is what the 'Official Game Puck Program' is all about. When your player does a great job backchecking, listens and executes game strategy, scores or assists on key goals, shuts down opponents, or plays a great offensive or defensive game, recognize their efforts by giving 'em a Game Puck in the Locker Room. Work with your manager to get your supply of Game pucks.
