I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fairy' is the definition.
(puck is a kind of fairy)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for puck that I've seen before include "One of 5 [FAIRIES]" , "Mischievous spirit" , "Disc used in ice-hockey" , "One icily struck by player" , "Mischievous character" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
