Abstract:
1. A hockey training device for rebounding a playing object, comprising: a frame having a first end and a second end; a first support connected to said first end; a second support connected to said second end; one or more resilient rebound members extending between said first support and said second support such that said one or more resilient rebound members are secured in a taut manner to provide a resilient spring-back force when struck by a playing object; and a means for securing said frame to a shooting surface in a stationary manner; wherein said means for securing said frame includes a clamping assembly, wherein said clamping assembly includes: a lower plate having a front edge, a rear edge, at least one rear flange, and at least one retaining post; wherein said at least one rear flange extends upwardly from said rear edge of said lower plate to engage a rear edge of said frame; wherein said at least one retaining post extends upwardly from said lower plate and through at least one opening of said frame; wherein a supporting object having said shooting surface thereon is adapted to be extended between said lower plate and said frame so that a peripheral edge of said supporting object engages said at least one retaining post; and at least one adjustment knob threaded to said at least one retaining post, wherein said at least one adjustment knob is adapted to provide for vertical adjustment of said lower plate relative said frame such as to secure said supporting object between said lower plate and said frame; wherein engagement of said rear flange with said frame causes said front edge of said lower plate to vertically adjust closer to a lower surface of said frame than said rear edge of said lower plate such as to angle said lower plate upwardly from said rear edge of said lower plate to said front edge of said lower plate.
