Abstract: The hockey training aid is a hockey stick/blade which can be either a one piece stick as in a one piece composite stick or an attachable/replaceable blade, which can be attached to a stick shaft. The blade has a shank for inserting the stick handle and containing a channel along the lower edge of the blade. A string is fastened tat one end to a puck and or ball and at the other end to a ball bearing shaped bead that is freely moveable within the channel. The string attached to the bead extends outward from the channel through a slit that also extends along the length of the channel. During use, as the puck/ball moves back-and-forth during stick-handling drills, the bead freely moves back-and-forth within the channel and the tether freely moves along the slit. An additional optional hole is provided at the top of the blade for use as an alternative stationary attachment of an elastic tether to the blade.
