How to Make a Hockey Goalie Net With a PVC Pipe

Hockey is a team sport that is enjoyed by millions across the United States and Canada. The object in hockey is to use a special type of stick to push a disk called a puck into a goal net. The goal is comprised of bars or rods, which form an upright rectangle. It can be expensive to purchase manufactured goals. One alternative is to assemble one yourself using heavy-duty PVC pipe.
