  • Patent number: 3970306
    Abstract: A hockey game for simulating the conditions that exist in ice hockey during "one on one" confrontations between a shooter and a goalie. The game includes a miniature hockey goal positioned on a playing surface, a goalie member horizontally and vertically movable in front of the goal by a player attempting to intercept pucks shot on goal, and a shooter having an actuator with a spring loaded firing mechanism that can be cocked and triggered to propel a puck in predetermined trajectories. The shooter is manually manipulatable by an opponent of the player into selective orientations that establish the predetermined trajectories which are kept secret from the player by a housing that conceals the actuator.
