Abstract
Abstract A hockey type goal structure which may be readily set up in a yard, street or on ice. The goal is formed of a rectangular frame that supports a canvas sheet fitted with peripheral openings in a plane generally inclined to the horizontal surface on which the device is mounted. The canvas sheet is fastened by tension springs to a frame so that a ball or puck striking the canvas is rebounded away from the structure, while a ball or puck entering one of the peripheral openings is scored as a goal.
