A mesh net supporting framework for a hockey goal which is readily collapsed for transportation or storage has elongated tubular members hinged together at their respective ends and locking mechanisms at those hinges for securing the tubular members in mutually perpendicular configurations, or in collinear configurations. The locking mechanisms may comprise an elbow or a three-way fitting. The locking mechanism includes an abutment on one portion, and a cylindrical cuff on another member having a semicylindrical extension for engaging the abutment. The other member also has a semicylindrical end portion for engaging the abutment. Relative angular movement between the portions is precluded when the semicylindrical end and the semicylindrical extension are misaligned, while the portions are relatively angularly movable when the semicylindrical end and the semicylindrical extension are positioned adjacent the same semicircular portion of the abutment. The locking mechanisms are freed to collapse the goal by rotating the cuff through about one hundred eighty degrees about the other tubular member. The mesh net is suspended from the framework by net peripheral portions which encircle frame members. These peripheral portions are formed from one or more fabric sheets having a pair of opposed edges sewn together to form a fabric sleeve and including near the opposed edges, a strip of fabric having a plurality of hooks fixed thereto frequently referred to as "hook tape" for releasably supporting the remaining portion of the net. 17
