Inertia-activated alert hockey practce aid

Abstract

A hockey shooting practice aid which includes a weighted, light-up target device that is securable to the frame of a hockey net and constructed of a hardened metal material capable of withstanding repeated impact force of hockey pucks. The practice aid is adapted to alert the shooter of a puck by emitting a continuous or flashing light when the target is struck by a puck with sufficient force to overcome a predetermined impact threshold. The weighted target includes a central chamber with an opening that carries an inertia-activated light-up ball which, upon sensing the sufficient dynamic inertia of a striking puck which exceeds an impact threshold force, illuminates for a pre-programmed duration of time. By illuminating the central light-up apparatus of the weighted target, the shooter is rewarded for making both an accurate and forceful shot.
