A hockey puck of which color is never used in a game?

There are several variations on the standard black, 6-ounce (170 g) hockey puck.

One of the most common is a blue, 4-ounce (110 g) puck that is used for training younger players who are not yet able to use a standard puck.

Heavier 10-ounce (280 g) training pucks, typically reddish pink or reddish orange in color, are also available for players looking to develop the strength of their shots or improve their stick handling skills.

Players looking to increase wrist strength often practice with steel pucks that weigh 2 pounds (910 g); these pucks are not used for shooting, as they could seriously harm other players. White pucks are used for goaltender practice. These are regulation size and weight, but made from white rubber.

A hollow, light-weight fluorescent orange puck is available for road or floor hockey. Other variants, some with plastic ball-bearings or glides, are available for use for road or roller hockey.

According to the internet: neither the white puck nor the orange puck are used in games -- they are strictly training aids.

Another question with a wrong answer! You can buy green and blue hockey pucks!

Green, in this case, is the only color listed for the hockey puck that isn't used when people playing the game of hockey. The game itself could be one that is either played for fun or in a professional setting.

In his explanation Zain himself says the blue puck is used for training which means it is not used in a game. The only answer here that is truly incorrect is the black puck.
