Sports training device

Abstract

A sports training device for rebounding a puck travelling on a playing surface comprising a resilient body formed of tire chips held together with adhesive. The body has a vertical side edge or face for rebounding a puck at substantially the same velocity with which the puck is shot against it.

The embodiments of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed are defined as follows:  
     
         1 . A sports training device for rebounding a puck shot against it comprising a resilient body made from a moldable material comprising of elastomer chips or strips and adhesive having a side surface capable of rebounding the puck with a velocity substantially the same as the velocity with which it was shot.  
     
     
         2 . A sports training device as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the elastomer is tire chips.  
     
     
         3 . A sports training device as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the body contains one or more openings for receiving pins operative to secure the body to an ice surface.  
     
     
         4 , A sports training device as claimed in  claim 3  wherein said openings have an enlarged diameter on the bottom surface to allow fingers to grasp the pins for removal thereof.  
     
     
         5 . A sports training device as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the body is a three dimensional equilateral triangle having flat parallel top and bottom surfaces.
