Sports training aid

Abstract

A sports training aid comprising a frame with skate-like and hockey stick-like members attached thereto and including an upright frame member supporting a backboard to simulate an opposing player. This training aid is intended to assist the novice hockey player in developing the skills associated with maneuvering the hockey puck around and/or through an opponent. The device consists of a frame having a longitudinal member connected to a transverse member, the transverse member having leg members each terminating in a skate simulation member and a distal end of the longitudinal member terminating in a hockey stick-like member, an upright frame member supports a backboard.

1 . A sports training device, comprising:
 a frame having a longitudinal member, said longitudinal member including a proximal end and a distal end, said proximal end directly connected to a transverse member;   said transverse member including a first end, a second end, and a predetermined length said first end and said second end equally disposed on either side of, and perpendicular to, said longitudinal member;   each of said first end and said second end being, attached to a respective leg member; each of said leg members being downwardly disposed from said transverse member and outwardly angled relative to said transverse member;   each of said leg members having a distal end terminating in a skate simulation member, each said skate simulation member being perpendicular to said transverse member;   said distal end of said longitudinal member being shaped in a downwardly disposed manner and terminating in a hockey stick-like member; and   an upright frame member extending laterally from and parallel to said length of said transverse member, said upright frame member supporting a backboard.
