Solvent ink, laminated.

If its a black area you are printing on and you don't have a white ink system, I do not think it would show up.
My old DIY DTG is a 8channel so I can run a white ink setup
Laminating a hockey puck would look like garbage

+1. Here's a short video. Outsource it or do it yourself and knock this job out quickly.

Not to mention there may be a difference in friction on the ice with the laminated side versus the rubber side.

If it is a few then of course, use what you have. DTG it with white as the underbase so it will show up. If it is more than a few I would send it out for sure. Or buy a cheap manual pad printer if you feel like a new hobby.

That's what we do. we have done them with the team logos and just last week we did these. We personalized the backs of these pucks by laser engraving the players individual goals and assists, and we also put 2013-2014 contoured to the puck at the top. There are several vendors printing decals and putting them on pucks. Most people will use them as a paperweight or put them on a shelf or in a puck display holder. Why all the fuss for a souvenir that is not intended for use on the ice?
No new hobbies for me!

one of the best days of my life was when I packed up my manual pad printer and sold it on Ebay.
Their pucks have about 5 different colors on the puck

are they currently direct printed and not using a laminated decal?
Yes. The white ink seems to be different than the colored logo. The white ink will not scratch off but the colored logo is fairly easy to scratch with my finger nail and seems to be a different ink.
