1. A hockey puck rebound device (1), comprising:
a first support (2) and a second support (22), wherein each support (2; 22) comprising a top wall (3), a bottom wall (4) and four side walls (5) of substantially equal length, wherein each of the first and second supports include a hollow body with support ribs (6) therein;
at least one resilient member (20) having a first and a second end and extending between the first support (2) and the second support (22) such that the at least one resilient member (20) is secured in a taut manner to provide a resilient spring-back force when struck by a puck (50), wherein a rigid ring (21) is arranged on each end of the at least one resilient member (20) so that the end of the at least one resilient member (20) is rigid, allowing easy assembly and disassembly of the at least one resilient member (20) to and from the first and second supports (2; 22);
a cross-member (30) extending between the first support (2) and the second support (22) and fixed to the top wall (3) of both supports (2, 22) so that both supports (2, 22) are positioned from each other with a distance (X);
wherein each support (2, 22) comprises:
at least one channel (7) for inserting and securing the resilient member (20) to the first and second supports (2, 22), wherein the channel (7) includes a first section (8) and a second section (9) and a 45 to 90 degree curve between said first (8) and second (9) sections so that upon insertion of the at least one resilient member (20) into the channel (7) the at least one resilient member is arranged in the first (8) and the second section (9) of the channel (7), wherein the first section (8) of the channel (7) comprises a cut-out (13) parallel to a longitudinal axis of the first section (8) of the channel (7) so that through the cut-out (13) the resilient member (20) is insertable into the channel (7);
at least one hexagonal cavity (10) configured for insertion of a respective hexagonal nut (41) therein;
at least two through holes (12), wherein each through hole (12) is configured for insertion of a screw (44) therethrough in order to fix the cross-member (30) to the first and second supports (2, 22).
