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. In a further embodiment a plurality of dome-shaped 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
dome-shaped members to be directed upwards at the goal at a second path
of travel.
