An integrated multi-purpose hockey skatemill with a movable skatemill belt (2) comprising a stationary area of the artificial ice (1) with a front face of the work area wherein a movable skatemill belt (2) is built in by means of barrier-free transition areas with a system of spaced signalization/display elements (5) hung on the tiltable/sliding brackets (5a) at the frontal and lateral sectors with respect to the center of the movable skatemill belt (2). There is a safety restraint system (3) and a stabilization system (4) anchored above the movable skatemill belt (2). A tensile/compressive force measuring system (8) is suspended from above in the longitudinal axis of the movable skatemill belt (2). The said skatemill comprises an electronic control unit (9) ECU controlling the operation of the movable skatemill belt's (2) drive system, the system of signalization/display elements (5), the system of optical scanning cameras (6) and the tensile/compressive force measuring system (8). There are two puck feeders (7) located on the border line defining the front side of the work area. There is a hockey goal structure with target zones impact detection sensors located on the edge of the work force in front of the movable skatemill belt (2). Two laser markers (12) used to define the width of a skate track may be located on the stationary area of the artificial ice in front of the movable skatemill belt.

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.

Systems and methods for tracking a sports ball assembly in real time during a sporting event are disclosed. A structure of the sports ball assembly is also disclosed. The sports ball assembly comprises at least one electronic circuit embedded or attached to a sports ball. The sports ball assembly is in network communication with a server processor via at least two receivers within a sports arena. The sports ball assembly generates and transmits UWB data packets comprising movement-related data for the sports ball assembly in real time at a predetermined rate. The at least two receivers receive the UWB data packets and transmit to the server processor with time stamps. The server processor is operable to determine a movement of the sports ball assembly based on the UWB data packets and the time stamps received from the at least two receivers.

A puck includes a cylinder having a curvilinear sidewall extending about and centered with a central longitudinal axis, and a plurality of sound emitting structures connected to the sidewall. At least one sound emitting structure is configured to emit sound when the puck rotates about the central longitudinal axis at or above a threshold rotational speed and translates at or above a threshold translational speed. The puck may include top and bottom surfaces having peripheral rims or flanges that extend beyond the periphery of the sidewall, thereby protecting the sound emitting structures from contact from a hockey stick blade.

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.
