The current Hockey Industry has numerous practice oriented tools and devices available on the market today. Most of these training implements tailor to specific skills such as stick handling, shooting or strength training. While these systems allow an individual to practice on their own time, they often isolate the player and detract from advancement under more “life like” playing conditions. This was the reason why early automatic hockey puck passers came into fruition. Unfortunately, these systems fell short of their potential by having minimal versatility, expensive price tags and difficult to transport designs. While these qualities may not detract teams or arenas from purchasing them, the average consumer would most likely find them undesirable. It is the goal of this project to provide a puck delivery system with improved functionality, affordability and transportability over the existing models.
