Abstract: A hockey faceoff training device has a base for placement on a playing surface, support posts standing upright from the base for placement of disc weights thereover into stacked condition atop the base for weighted anchoring thereof on the playing surface, a connector removably attached to top ends of the posts, and an impact member coupled to said connector via a moveable joint from which the impact members extends downwardly toward the playing surface in a default position. The movable joint comprises a coil spring situated inline with a proximal end of the impact member to bias the impact member into the default position. The base has deployable and retractable spikes to better grip the playing surface. The topside of the base comprises recessed access cavities to accommodate a user's fingers during placement or removal of the disc weights onto or from the base.

Abstract: A hockey faceoff training device features an impact member with a lower end normally residing at ground level. A movable joint connecting the impact member to a stationary frame at an elevated distance above said lower end. The impact member is movable about the movable joint in one or more directions lifting said lower end of the impact member from ground level. Use of the device involves impact of the impact member by a hockey stick of a practicing athlete to lift said lower end of the impact member from ground level, thereby simulating an act of sweeping or batting out an opponent's hockey stick during a face-off. One or more springs bias the impact member into the normal position to provide improved resistance, and weights are used to temporarily securer same in a stationary, stable position at any practice site, while a carry handle enables easy transport.
