ABSTRACT:
A goal supportable on a horizontal playing surface such as an outdoor ice hockey rink. The goal has a rear wall and a forwardly open and unobstructed mouth. A see-through vertical impact curtain is suspended from its upper end within the goal and is spaced nearer the rear walls than the open mouth of the goal. The impact curtain is of a limp, heavy, momemum-absorbing, material such as chain link fencing which when impacted by a hockey puck or object will bend in one direction and be substantially stiff and resistant to flexing in a second direction transverse to the one direction. The momentum of hockey pucks or the like shot into the goal is absorbed by the curtain, and the pucks are deposited on the playing surface within the goal without rebounding or rolling out of the goal.
