1. A device for training hockey goaltenders comprising: a base having an ice engaging surface to reduce sliding on the ice;at least three vertically oriented side panels arranged around a perimeter of the base, each said side panel having a rigid outer surface configured for deflecting a hockey puck directed at said corresponding side panel, and wherein a first side panel outer surface is made of a material that is different from a second side panel outer surface for simulating hockey game conditions; andat least three corners, each configured for releasably connecting adjacent ends of a corresponding pair of said side panels. 2. The device as claimed in claim 1 wherein said first side panel outer surface is convex. 3. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said first side panel outer surface is concave. 4. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein each said corner extends up from said base. 5. The device as claimed in claim 4, wherein said side panels are removable. 6. The device as claimed in claim 5, further comprising a cover panel extending to the perimeter of said device. 7. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said device is provided with a vertically extending screen. 8. The device as claimed in claim 7, wherein said screen comprises a mast from which may be hung a vertical piece of fabric material, and wherein said screen substantially obstructs visibility through said screen. 9. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein a plane defined by said outer surface of each said corresponding side panel is generally perpendicular to a plane defining said ice engaging surface. 10. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said first side panel outer surface and said second side panel outer surface are each made of one of a wood, fibreglass reinforced wood, high density polyethylene, or carbon composite material, and wherein said first side panel outer surface has a different shape than said second side panel outer surface. 11. The device of claim 8, wherein only one edge of said vertically extending screen is mounted to said mast. 12. The device of claim 7, wherein said vertically extending screen has a height and a width wherein said height is greater than said width. 13. A device for training hockey goaltenders comprising: a base having an ice engaging surface to reduce sliding on the ice; at least three vertically oriented side panels arranged around a perimeter of the base, each said side panel having a hard rigid outer surface configured for deflecting a hockey puck directed at said corresponding side panel; wherein a first side panel outer surface is made of a material that is different from a second side panel outer surface for simulating hockey game conditions;at least three corners, each configured for releasable connecting adjacent ends of a corresponding pair of said side panels, and wherein each said side panel is configured for releasably corresponding adjacent pair of said corners; acover attached to an upper edge of each side panel; anda collar disposed on said cover and configured for mounting a screening device. 14. The device of claim 13, wherein a plane defining an upper surface of said cover is generally parallel to a plane defining said ice engaging surface. 15. The device of claim 13, wherein said cover is generally triangularly-shaped, and wherein said collar is generally centrally located on an upper surface of said cover. 16. The device of claim 13, comprising four side panels, wherein said cover is generally square-shaped, and wherein said collar is generally centrally located on an upper surface of said cover. 17. The device of claim 13, further comprising a screening device mounted on said collar, wherein said screening device includes a mast mounted to said collar and a screen hung from said mast, and wherein said screening device substantially obstructs visibility though said screen. 18. The device of claim 13, further comprising a screening device mounted on said collar, wherein said screening device includes a vertically-oriented mast mounted to said collar, a horizontally-oriented mast affixed to said vertically-oriented mast, and a screen hung from said horizontally-oriented mast, and wherein said screening device substantially obstructs visibility though said screen. 19. A device for training hockey goaltenders, comprising: a base having an ice engaging surface to reduce sliding on the ice;a plurality of side panels arranged around a perimeter of the base and secured directly or indirectly to the base, each side panel having an outer surface configured for deflecting a hockey puck directed at said corresponding side panel;wherein a first side panel outer surface is made of a material that is different from a second side panel outer surface for simulating hockey game conditions;a plurality of corners, each configured for releasable, connecting adjacent ends of a corresponding pair of said side panels;a chamber defined by said base; anda motor disposed in said chamber and configured for rotating said base about a vertical axis perpendicular to a plane defined by said ice engaging surface, upon receiving control signals from a remote control device.
