A hockey puck (1) comprising an accelerometer (101) arranged in a recess (5) of a puck body (3). The accelerometer (101) is configured to measure the acceleration of the hockey puck (1) in at least one direction in x-y-z coordinates. The hockey puck further comprises a power supply (25) and a control unit (109) configured to read sensor input from the accelerometer (101) and to provide a control unit output based on said sensor input.

A hockey puck is formed as two mating subcomponents encapsulating an internal signal transmitter. The hockey puck includes holes extending from an external surface of the hockey puck into an internal void formed between the two mating subcomponents. The internal signal transmitter includes protrusions extending into the holes, each including a surface-mounted diode. The surface-mounted diodes include no lens cap, allowing the diodes to be positioned closer to the external surface of the puck than existing pucks. For improved visibility, the diode is positioned less than 5 mm from the external surface of the puck, but greater than 1 mm from the external surface of the puck, in order to prevent the diodes from being externally visible. Preferably, the diodes are positioned between approximately 2 mm and approximately 3 mm from the external surface of the hockey puck.

An apparatus for training athletes having two supporting structures. The first structure has a base that can rest on a surface and walls that extend upward from the base to an upper end, defining an interior space. The walls incorporate a bar connector above the base designed to connect to and support one end of a bar. The walls have supporting elements above the base and below the upper end of the walls. The second structure has walls that are configured so that the lower end of the walls can engage the supporting elements of the first structure so that the second structure is supported by the first structure above the supporting elements. The second structure has a bar connector at the same height as the height of the bar connector of the first structure configured to connect to and support the other end of the bar.

An illuminated hockey puck assembly includes a housing having an outer surface including a top side, a bottom side, and a perimeter edge extending between the top and bottom sides. The illuminated hockey puck assembly has a weight, a shape, and a size comparable to a hockey puck. A lighting system is mounted within the interior and is encapsulated by the outer surface such that the lighting system is immobilized in the housing. The housing is translucent such that the housing is illuminated by the lighting system when the lighting system emits lights.

Disclosed is an ice hockey ball-controlling skill training device, which comprises a plurality of cross members hinged end to end, and the connecting ends of adjacent two cross members are provided with fixing components for connecting and fixing; the training device also compromises a ball, LED lighting components, and induction components, the induction component compromises a plurality of Hall elements and electromagnetic induction elements, a plurality of Hall elements are respectively arranged on a plurality of cross members, the electromagnetic induction elements are arranged in the ball; when the ball passes under the cross member, the electromagnetic induction elements can triggers induction with Hall elements. During the training process, when the ball passes under the cross member, the electromagnetic induction element can trigger induction with the Hall element. Compared with the ball control device in the prior art, the device has more accurate induction.

A puck includes a main body having a first portion and a second portion securely attached to form a generally cylindrical shape with an internal cavity. One or more energy absorbing components are positioned within the internal cavity. A weight component is positioned adjacent to the one or more energy absorbing components within the internal cavity. The weight component is sized to move in a vertical direction and deform the one or more energy absorbing components within the internal cavity in response to movement of the puck.

The present disclosure provides a system for conditioning and training, generally comprising a floor portion and at least one guide within a line of sight of the floor portion. The guide is configured to display training programs for a user to use to improve sports skills, such as hockey skills for example. In an embodiment, the floor portion has RFID tags to determine where a puck or other object is located. In another embodiment, the system has an apparatus to determine, verify or display a puck location. The apparatus can be either a camera or an AR unit such as glasses. Based on information provided and received, the system can tailor exercises for a user and provide enhanced statistics to improve skills.
