What the AI looks for in Hockey Nets

Exact goal size match
Measure the frame's mouth width, height and depth before buying; regulation ice goals are 6 ft by 4 ft Nets are cut to fit specific frame sizes and depths, and a mismatched net sags or won't reach the attachment points.
Netting thickness and construction
Choose heavy, knotted netting over thin knotless mesh for puck use Thin netting tears at the back and corners within weeks of hard shooting.
Attachment method
Confirm whether your frame uses lacing, hooks, clips or bungee ties and buy a net with the matching fastening A net with the wrong fastening is very hard to fit to a frame.
Inner skirt or shock net
Prefer nets with an inner skirt, or add a separate shock net It absorbs puck energy, protects the outer net and stops pucks rebounding back out.
Outdoor weather resistance
Choose UV-resistant netting if the goal lives outside Sun exposure makes netting brittle and it fails long before the frame.

Questions

Is a shooting tarp the same as a net?

No: a net replaces the goal's netting, while a tarp hangs in the opening with target holes and leaves the net in place.
