Abstract
A hockey training device and method of using the same to teach a hockey player how to play a shot, particularly a wrist shot. The device includes a connector assembly that is selectively engaged with a hockey stick blade during training; a puck holding assembly for holding the puck in an optimum position; and a hinge connecting the connector assembly and puck holding assembly together. The hinge allows the connector assembly and puck holding assembly to pivot relative to each other as the stick is maneuvered to make a shot. The puck holding assembly includes a flexible region that is moved out of the way of the puck as a shot is played and the puck is accelerated by the stick toward a net or another player. The hinge ensures that the puck holding assembly maintains its position relative to the ice as the shot is played.
