Hockey game table with rotary striking unit

Abstract

A hockey game table having a table face on which a disc is movable. The hockey game table includes a rotary striking unit including a propeller and a driving mechanism for driving the propeller. The rotary striking unit is mounted to the table body with the propeller positioned on the table face. When a disc moves on the table face and touches the vanes of the propeller, the moving direction or moving speed of the disc is unexpectedly changed by the propeller so as to enhance the entertaining effect.
