My actual Pow-R-Puck
Now came something called Pow-R-Puck. This puck could measure the speed of your shot. There was a dial that went from 0-100 mph and dial that could be set from low to high. We would just shoot the puck and try to see who possessed the fastest shot. I don't remember what my top speed was but not the best. I just remember the good times. The packaging is long gone 
e-bay ad for similar item but I'm thinking mine must have been a Maple Leaf package.
I'm thinking I should get out my old wooden Louisville stick and see what I can do. At least I don't have to convert to kilometres.
Thanks for the memories. Got my Pow-R-Puck as a Christmas
ReplyDeletepresent. Eventually, the plastic dial was found to be the weak link.
It went perfectly with my Bobby Hull obsession at the time.
What does the dial for low to high represent?
ReplyDeleteMy Father and his brother were the inventors of the original pow-r-puck. Invented on Dupont Street in Toronto Ontario. I remember meeting many Leaf players back then.

The Original inventor was my grandfather Kenneth Bradford. My dad has all the patent paper work. I have all the original pucks and packaging
Deleteas friend sent me this today....wow what a trip down memory lane. I had one of these as a kid and I think a couple of friends had one too. I wish I had one now unused...what a discussion piece that would be...If there isn't one of these in the hockey hall of fame there should be !!. Thanks Larry
