It has got to be some sort of specialty pry bar. Going on that assumption, Red, are these in the ball park? Pallet stripper Tie Rod Boot pry bar.
its the device to hold in place the hockey goal stub things on the ice so the net apparatus can slide off in a collision
It is used to pry on something specific to accomplish one specific task. It is not a mechanics tool or a pallet tool, although it is similar in appearance. Hint: the tines grip on a round object. The crossbar definitely facilitates leverage.
