ABSTRACT:
An exercising apparatus for use by hockey players to practice their shots and improve the accuracy of these shots. The apparatus comprises a lane structure, and a goal structure fixed at one end of the lane. This goal structure includes targets located in each of its corners and lamps associated with each target. A device is provided at the other end of the lane for dispensing pucks one by one on an endless belt. At least one platform is positioned adjacent the endless belt for receiving a hockey player who wants to practice his shots with the dispensed pucks. The platform on which stands the hockey player has an upper surface slightly heightened with respect to the endless belt for simulating, during the exercise, the height of the skates that the hockey player will put on when actually playing on a rink. A control circuit operates the lamps one after the other in any sequential order at substantially the same speed as the one at which the pucks are dispensed, for visually indicating to the players to which target they must try to aim at. This excercising apparatus is particularly interesting in that it allows hockey players to practice their shots as long as they want out of a rink.
