Two hundred pucks, each numbered, are available for sale at every home game, $5 for three.

The pucks are now selling out 90 minutes before game time, with many fans arriving early to buy pucks, and some purchasing dozens.

During the second intermission, a container with a small hole at the top is placed at centre ice, and fans in the stands throw their pucks, trying to net a winner.

Some gamblers take their pucks and hide them outside the arena so they are cold, and theoretically less likely to bounce on the ice.

Others believe a clever bounce is the only way to win

Last season the puck toss was won twice, but so far this year victory is elusive.

Every game, the prize amount increases.
