Hi NHLTEACHER,
I'm assuming that you're working on the project described here:
https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... ice-hockey
Your question is really the objective of this project. You might want to take a look at the reference listed in the project background (The Physics of Hockey), then see if you can think of an experiment to find out if drag affects the distance a puck will travel.
I hope this helps. Please ask again if you have more questions.
