About Sniper-Hockey | Meet the Innovator Behind the Machine

What is the Sniper-Hockey Machine?

The Sniper-Hockey Machine is a fully automated target shooting system that mounts to a standard hockey net. Instead of fixed holes cut into a static tarp, it uses a system of motorized curtains that move independently, opening, closing, and resizing target zones anywhere in the net at the push of a button. The result: a single machine that creates over 3 million possible target combinations. Every shot, every drill, every weakness is covered.

How It Helps You Shoot Better

Improving shooting accuracy isn’t about repetition alone. It’s about repeating the right shot, in the right spot, until it becomes automatic. That’s exactly what the Sniper-Hockey Machine is built for.
Train your weak spots, not your strong ones.

Every player has a corner of the net they own… and one they avoid. The Sniper-Hockey machine lets you isolate that weak spot and hammer it until it isn’t weak anymore. Top shelf glove side. Low blocker. Five-hole. Anywhere.

Sniper-Hockey vs. Traditional Shooting Tarps

Most shooting aids on the market today are static tarps, a sheet of vinyl with pre-cut holes in the corners and sometimes the five-hole. They’ve been the standard for decades. Here’s how the Sniper-Hockey Machine compares:

The core difference: A static tarp trains you to hit the same five holes that every other player is also practicing. The Sniper-Hockey Machine trains you, your weaknesses, your drills, your goals.
