Abstract

A hockey screening dummy ( 10 ) with a pair of rigid legs ( 20 ) curved to simulate a bent knee and inserted into hockey skates ( 22 ) with a slot ( 38 ) cut through the sole. A blade ( 24 ) is inserted through the skate slot ( 38 ) and bolted to the leg ( 20 ). A threaded rod ( 56 ) between the knees permits adjustment of the legs ( 20 ). The legs ( 20 ) are attached to a hip section ( 60 ) with a post ( 70 ) extending upwardly therefrom. The upper body ( 14 ) is a premade torso/head combination ( 72 ) with a vertical hole ( 74 ) that fits onto the post ( 70 ). A pipe ( 84 ) with a 45-degree plate ( 92 ) is bolted to each end of a rod ( 80 ) that extends through the torso ( 72 ) at the shoulders. An upper arm ( 100 ) is attached to the plate ( 92 ), a forearm ( 102 ) is attached to the upper arm ( 100 ), and a pipe ( 128 ) is attached to the end of the forearm ( 102 ) as a hand ( 126 ). The dummy ( 10 ) is outfitted with the appropriate hockey equipment.
