<p>A flexible dasher board assembly and system that utilises four different aspects for providing shock absorbing features. In a first aspect, the entire dasher board assembly (12) is provided with rotational flexibility such that the entire assembly will pivot about a point substantially near the bottom of the dasher board and close to the ice. In a second aspect, the entire dasher board system is provided with translational flexibility, such that the entire dasher board assembly can be pushed substantially parallel and away from the ice. In a third aspect, only the shielding panel (204) is provided with rotational flexibility such that the shielding panel (204) (and its support struts (202) in a supported assembly) will pivot about a point within the dasher board. In a fourth aspect, only the shielding panel (204) is provided with translational flexibility such that only the shielding panel (and its support struts) can be pushed substantially parallel and away from the ice.</p> |
