Hockey & beer seem to go hand and hand. Here is a great bottle opener made out of a  real hockey puck. There are several styles to choose from. Get them here.

• Some rubber from one side of the puck is machined out so a brushed stainless steel opener plate can be inserted and secured by four screws.
• A magnet is also attached to the puck. This stops the cap from flying off when opening a bottle.
• And because everything is recessed below the surface of the puck you can actually play a regular hockey game with The PuckOpener.
