  • Patent number: 7534176
    Abstract: An ice hockey training device providing goalie training in preventing pucks, particularly deflected or “tipped” pucks, from entering an ice hockey goal is disclosed. The device is disposed on a playing surface in front of a goal guarded by a goalie. The device consists of a base deflector having a planar surface in one embodiment of the invention disposed at an upward angle which can direct pucks traveling on the playing surface that are hit by a player to ride up onto the upwardly angled planar surface of the base deflector and be directed upwards at the goal. In other embodiments a plurality of angled members can be disposed on the top surface of the base deflector, causing a puck traveling in a first path of travel and striking one or more of such angled members to be directed upwards at the goal at a second path of travel.

The device can also include a base deflector resting on the playing surface which provides a planar surface disposed at an upward angle which can direct pucks hit by a player traveling on the playing surface to ride up onto the planar surface of the base deflector and be directed upwards at the goal. A plurality of angle members can be disposed on the base deflector to further deflect at different angles pucks traveling thereon.
