    Best hockey guide I've ever read!

    This book answered more hockey questions than I knew to ask. The material is presented in a clear, straight-forward manner with plenty of helpful diagrams and hints to make anyone successful at coaching hockey. If you're a coach, it will serve as your ultimate guide. If you're a hockey parent, it will show you what the coach can and should be doing for your child and the team.

    Passing on the love of the game

    A useful 'how-to' guide for both the novice and the expert. It puts the entire season into a clear and concise format with lots of resourceful drills and an emphasis on a coach¿s preparedness. All this while never letting us forget that the purpose for being involved in youth hockey is to make sure the kids have fun while they learn the game.

    The ultimate 'how-to' youth hockey book!

    I highly recommend this book! It is a well-written, well-organized book for the youth hockey coach and parent as well as for the avoid youth hockey fan. It covers all aspects of coaching youth hockey, from teaching the basics of the game through developing hockey skills and finally to playing the game itself. Most importantly, the book teaches the youth hockey coach and the parent how to develop the most important element of the game - the hockey player!
