It is not the circumference of the puck that matters, it is the diameter and the thickness. When a hockey puck is properly clobbered by a hockey stick, it will travel at about 12 degrees at a speed of about 135 miles per hour. A true professional hockey player can aim this puck to strike some unattentive fan smack in the middle of his mouth. The diameter and thickness will make a perfect fit the wedge the puck in the mouth while taking out over 50% of the teeth. This in turn will require the fan to go to the hospital to have the puck and the remain of his teeth removed. So the bottom line is that whenever you go to a hockey game, be a good fan and keep you eyes on the players and the puck, at all times.

A puck, when used in ice hockey, is a hard black disk of vulcanized rubber. A standard puck is one inch thick (25.4 mm), three inches in diameter (76.2 mm) and weighs between 5.5 and 6 ounces (156-170 g).Today, pucks are frozen a few hours before the game to further reduce bouncing during play.

Circumference=pi x diameter
=pi x 3 inches
=9.42
Therefore, the circumference of a puck is about 9.42 inches.
(You should put this in the math section. This is exactly what's in my math textbook.)

diameter is 3" (multiply this by pi to get diameter)
9 and 7/16 inches (9.4247 to be exact)
