skautskífunni

Skautskífunni is an Icelandic term that translates to "skate disc" or "ice hockey puck." It refers to the object used in the sport of ice hockey, as well as in related ice-skating games. In ice hockey, the skautskífunni is a vulcanized rubber disc, typically black, that is propelled across the ice by the players using their sticks. It is designed to be durable and to slide smoothly on the frozen surface. The weight and dimensions of a skautskífunni are standardized for official competition. Beyond ice hockey, the term might also encompass similar discs used in recreational ice games or for other purposes on ice. The performance of a skautskífunni can be affected by temperature, with colder temperatures making it more brittle and warmer temperatures making it softer and more prone to bouncing. This property is a consideration for players and officials.
