ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatuses for dropping a hockey puck (collectively the “system”). The system can facilitate or simulate hockey face-offs. Various embodiments of the system can be configured to provide convenience, portability, stability, and/or consistency for dropping a hockey puck to facilitate a hockey face-off. A frame can support a puck housing and a feed mechanism. The feed mechanism may be configured to feed the hockey puck from the puck housing to a feed chute. A release mechanism can receive the hockey puck from the feed chute. The release mechanism may be configured to release the hockey puck according to a predefined release rate. A power source can be carried by the frame and be configured to power the feed and the release of the hockey puck.
