Default Drilling hole in foam rubber?

Probably your best bet would be a "cork Borer" which is a set of hollow
tubes with a handle at one end and the bottom of the thin wall tube is
sharpened. You press down and rotate the tube with the handle to cut out a
plug.

I'm trying to make a special gasket out high density foam rubber.
Actually I'm using a kid's 4oz practice hockey puck as the blank. It's 1"
thick and I need to make a 1" hole in it's center. Does anyone know of
type of bit or other type of cutter that would make a clean cut. The
common bits and step bits just rip it up.

This might work:
