Leelee - What you are talking about is pretty standard although there are a few other variations.

I used to have a 2400mm x 1200mm x 16mm whiteboard (white melamine coated board) sheet with a 100mm wooden block at one end. This block then had high density rubber on it.
To make it even slippier you could use come furniture polish on the surface of th board and the puck. Lay on your stomach and use either an ice-hockey puck (for speed) or a normal puck for strength.

Also, Daniel used to have a folding puckboard covered in felt that he used to use to practice and warm up with. He would sit it on his lap - not so much for flicking obviously, but for skills.

We also used to make all sorts of other implements such as an ice-hockey puck with a string through it attached to the end of the stick, street hockey puck (plastic puck with little wheels/ball bearings that poked through it), ceramic ball etc.

I will try and get Daniel to sign up and share some of his information - he is more willing to these days :-)

If you want to know if all or any of these things work, just consider than Benson looks like an amateur in stickwork compared to Daniel (used to) and guys like Yves Lebeau particularly.
