The puck itself wouldn't be hollow, but you'd need to remove rubber to make room for tech, any external additions to the puck would likely have even more of an impact on dynamics. Two internal sensors/transmitters in the puck would be all you need to know it's exact position and orientation, which would give conclusive results even if the puck was lost in the pads.
