Abstract
A substantially circular hockey rink for playing a hockey game comprises an equilaterally triangular surface, a vertical board upwardly extending along the periphery of the equilaterally triangular surface, 3 goal posts equidistantly placed at each round corner of the equilaterally triangular surface, and a plurality of markings for lines, spots and circles on the equilaterally triangular surface. The equilaterally triangular surface has 3 round corners and a periphery. Each goal post has a net. The equilaterally triangular surface is divided into 3 distinct zones so that 3 teams can play a 3-way hockey game. The equilaterally triangular surface may be made of ice so that 3 teams can play a 3-way ice hockey game. This invention relates to hockey rinks, and the principal use of the invention is for playing hockey.
Description
Description Title = 3-Way Hockey Rink Technical Field = This invention relates to hockey rinks, more particularly to a 3-way hockey rink.
Background Art = There.are many instances where it would be desirable to be able to allow 3 teams to play a hockey game in a 3-way hockey rink.
= A number of patents disclose skating arenas.
= U.S. Patent 4 038 834 discloses "Ice skating arena". This prior art ice skating arena has a skating area arranged to define a plurality of individual ice rinks and interconnecting bridging sections.
= These prior art arrangements have hockey rinks that allow only 2 teams to play a 2-way hockey game.
Description of the Invention = It is a primary object of the invention to provide a circular hockey rink for playing a hockey game.
o It is another object of the invention to provide a hockey rink for 3 teams to play a hockey game in'a 3-way hockey rink.
= A substantially circular hockey rink for playing a hockey game comprises an equilaterally triangular surface, a vertical board upwardly extending along the periphery of the equilaterally triangular surface, 3 goal posts equidistantly placed at each round corner of the equilaterally triangular surface, and a plurality of markings for lines, spots and circles on the equilaterally triangular surface. The equilaterally triangular surface has 3 round corners and a periphery. Each goal post has a net. The equilaterally triangular surface is divided into 3 distinct zones so that 3 teams can play a 3-way hockey game. The equilaterally triangular surface may be made of ice so that 3 teams can play a 3-way ice hockey game.
Brief Description of the Figures in the Drawings = In drawings which illustrate embodiments of the invention:
o Figure 1 marked "Prior Art" is a top view of a conventional hockey rink; and o Figure 2 is a top view of one embodiment of a 3-way hockey rink according to the invention.
Modes for Carrying Out the Invention = One conventional hockey rink for playing a hockey game shown in Figure 1 marked "prior Art" comprises a substantially rectangular surface 1-1, a vertical board 1-2 upwardly extending along the periphery of the substantially rectangular surface 1-1, 2 goal posts 1-3 placed at each corner of the substantially rectangular surface 1-1, and a plurality of markings for lines, spots and circles (e.g., the Centre Line, the Goal Line, the Center Ice Spot and Circle) on the substantially rectangular surface 1-1.
= The substantially rectangular surface 1-1 has 2 corners and a periphery.
= Each goal post 1-3 has a net.
= The substantially rectangular surface 1-1 is divided into 3 distinct zones (i.e., the Defending Zone, the Neutral Zone and the Attacking Zone) so that 2 teams can play a 2-way hockey game.
= In one embodiment of the invention shown in Figure 2, a substantially circular hockey rink for playing a hockey game comprises an equilaterally triangular surface 2-1, a vertical board 2-2 upwardly extending along the periphery of the equilaterally triangular surface 2-1, 3 goal posts 2-3 equidistantly placed at each round corner of the equilaterally triangular surface 2-1, and a plurality of markings for lines, spots and circles (e.g., the Centre Line, the Goal Line, the Center Ice Spot and Circle) on the equilaterally triangular surface 2-1.
