Does anyone know where I could get that?

If you happen to know where in or around Seoul or if you know of a web site, please let me know, thanks.

Hockey equipment is easily 2.5 or 3 times more expensive here than in Canada. You're best bet is to look for someone back home to ship them to you. The "soft" pucks I think you're thinking about are hard to find in Canada. Unless you are talking about those bright orange "street hockey" type. Good luck finding those here. You might try the shops that are in the vicinity of the Mok-Dong arenas.

Score!

Yes, I was talking about the orange ones . . . at $2,99 at Canadian Tire.

I guess I'll try to find someone to ship me one from home. Too bad, though, it would have been much faster to get it from Korea; Canada Post is sooooo slow I'll get it in about two months.

I was really curious if there was anything on eBay.

search "foam hockey puck" Maybe those will do? Sadly, the shipping will be over the top.

When you consider you will have to put that loved one back home through a drive to crappy tire, searching the shelf, waiting in line, packaging the pucks, waiting in line at the post office, paying for your goods and shipping them ... is the shipping cost really that unreasonable?

News flash. I just thought I'd search "floor hockey pucks" This is what I found.

3 pucks, 8 bucks, shipping what the f--! hahaha

Now you need sticks.
Good luck fella!

Thanks for the time you took to check that out. I had checked web sites from sports stores and Gmarket, but I hadn't thought of auction web sites. I checked the Korean one and ... see for yourself: http://itempage3.auction.co.kr/DetailView.aspx?ItemNo=A590914303&cc=AA02&keyword=hockey%20puck&Fwk=hockey%20puck&scoredtype=0&frm2=through&acode=SRP_SV_0301

It'll be easier just to get someone to go to the nearest Canadian Tire to get one (at $2,29 + tax) and ship it to me along with other things I want from home. It's not like it was the only thing I wanted them to send me, so I won't feel (too) guilty asking for it.

OMG!
That's about 10 times the price of the pucks I found on eBay! 50,000 won for a rubber puck? I don't think you could get $50 for a Wayne Gretzky autographed puck back home!

Yeah, make shopping list and have then fill it then send it. Reward them handsomely when you return from Korea.
