How to Make a Hockey Stick Handling Trainer

Description:

After building the go kart for the past 3 weeks, I didn’t have a lot of energy left. That’s why this week I made this simple stick handling training aid. I see these all over the internet on hockey websites and they sell for around $34.95. You haven’t even heard the worst part, they’re plastic! How is a plastic training aid going to stand up against a hockey puck. I can tell you right now, they won’t. That’s why I made my own out of wood. Wood can easily handle getting hit by a hockey puck and all the other abuses that come with it. I simply cut a 2×4 to the size I felt was right and then I cut 2 pieces of 2×4 down to 3 1/2″. This made 2 squares and I screwed 1 square to each end. I added some paint to dress it up a bit and it was ready for use.
