The original Marsh Pegs were 1 5/8” (4.13 cm), but many arenas did not have room between the cooling lines for the 2” (5.08 cm) inserts required.  Therefore, Fred designed stepped pegs to fit into smaller inserts in the ice.  The part that fits into the net for the 1 3/8” (3.49 cm) and 13/16”  (2.06 cm) is 1 5/8” (4.13 cm).

At the end of the 2001- 2002 season, the National Hockey League requested a longer and thicker peg, so for the 2002-2003 season Fred supplied a new 1 7/8” (4.76 cm) peg.  This stepped peg has the same flexibility as the 1 5/8” (4.13 cm)  peg but is two inches longer than the other pegs, which are all eight inches in length.  With this peg, 1 7/8” (4.76 cm) goes into the net and 1 5/8” (4.13 cm) into the 2” (5.08 cm) floor insert. 

Marsh Pegs now come in four sizes:

1 5/8” (4.13 cm),

1 3/8” (3.49 cm),

13/16” (2.06 cm),

plus the 1 7/8” (4.76 cm). 

All measurements are outside diameter. 

Floor inserts are available in

2” (5.08 cm),

1 5/8” (4.13 cm),

and 1” (2.54 cm) sizes. 

All measurements are inside diameter.  The Pegs fit loosely into the inserts and nets.  Plastic caps for the inserts are included.
