BLOCKER FOR A HOCKEY GOALTENDER

摘要

A hockey blocker has a generally concave blocking surface (40) which in outline has rounded upper and lower ends and a lateral curvature from end-to-end. The internal structure of the blocker is made by the steps of providing a generally rigid insert of plastic sheet material moulded to a desired shape, surrounding the insert with a foam or foam-like material (20) and moulding the foam or foam-like material to a desired shape. The hockey blocker (40) comprises a glove portion (50) secured to the back of the blockingt unit (40), the glove portion (50) having a hand receiving area that is angled in relation to the length of the blocking surface. The blocker provides increased control and comfort.
