The present invention relates to the technical field of hockey-type table games, in particular to a game in which pucks are projected across a playing surface by means of a compression system that can be operated with the fingers of one hand and which aims to insert said pucks into a goal. Specifically, it provides a sliding puck multiplayer game having the possibility of adjusting the difficulty of the game and the number of players, characterized in that it comprises: a polygonal-shaped modular platform; a plurality of interchangeable connector bridges of different sizes that are connected to said modular platform; and a plurality of sliding pucks that are propelled by the effect of said elastic band, to go through said connecting bridges. In this way, it is possible to obtain a sliding puck game that allows a greater number of players simultaneously, with adjustable difficulty, portable and modular.

The two-part system includes a modified hockey puck and a set of goal units that can be mounted on a hockey goal. Within the puck are light sources, motion sensors, infrared transmitters, and a power source. Within the goal units are light sources, infrared sensors, and a microcontroller. When the goal units are mounted on the hockey goal, the infrared sensors form a detection area through which the puck must pass in order to count as a goal. The infrared transmitter of the puck and the infrared sensors of the goal units communicate with one another, and when an infrared signal is received the microcontroller triggers the light sources mounted to the goal to illuminate and indicate that a goal has been scored. Additionally, both the puck and the goal units are designed to reduce power consumption by switching between a low-energy mode or an active mode of operation.

An improved hockey puck for use on unsmooth surfaces such as streets and parking lots. The puck is comprised of two equally sized disks with solidifying weights and where the disks have the same diameter of the standard hockey puck. These disks have a top and a bottom where the top has an inner and outer rim and the bottom is flat. The disks are connected to each other using four rivets with a spacing means between the disks.

A curling handle assembly mounts on a stone body to form a curling stone. The assembly has a connector inserted into the top side of the stone body. A support body extends outwardly from the connector to clamp against the stone body using a fastener threaded through the stone body to the connector. A connector body joins a handle body to be gripped by a user spaced above the support body. An electronic assembly arranged for measuring a performance characteristic is received within cavities integrally moulded into the handle body, the connector body or the support body. A lower contact surface of the support body includes an annular potion at a periphery of the handle assembly that forms first contact of the support body with the top side of the stone body as the support body is clamped against the top side of the stone body by the threaded fastener.
