Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
The bible for hockey coaches at all levels of competition.
The Hockey Play Book is a practical handbook for coaches seeking better players and better team-play.
The book features systems for defensive, offensive and special-team situations, all accompanied by annotated, easy-to-understand diagrams. The systems range from conservative to aggressive -- some are intended for big, physical teams; others for fast-skating and highly skilled teams; and some work for both. Also included are teaching methods and drills for honing specific skills.
The very first challenge for every coach is to determine the abilities of each skater. The approach in The Hockey Play Book is effective with players of all ages and levels of ability. Coaches can match systems with team strategy, bringing a special creative magic to one of the fastest team sports in the world.
The Hockey Play Book includes: - 500 step-by-step diagrams
- Dozens of plays and skill-building drills
- Conservative and aggressive systems
- Teaching strategies for all levels of play

I remember learning basketball as a kid...watching it on TV was boring, one team scored, the other scored and not much looked different.
Then I learned about offense and defense and it all changed...became a lot more enjoyable and to this day I can watch a game and get involved.
Well, I'm learning Hockey now...as an adult. I don't have coaches around me to teach me...this book gives a good insight on what to look out for in a game...Offense and defense.
After one reading I went to a game....and it was a different experience. More enjoyable...a deeper connection with the game.
I didn't know exactly what was happeneing on the ice, but knew the basics and was able to more fully follow what the guys were trying to do.
I look forward to a few more readings through this book...and getting ready to watch the playoffs this year....with a more tuned in eye.

The book is layed out well, and the drills are helpful. My only disappointment was that the book is taylored to older kids who can more readily grasp the basic concepts. Most of the book is too advanced for Mites and squirts.

My son is the head coach of a Tier 1 girls hockey team. This manual has been invaluable for developing plays, systems and a players manual. I highly recommend this to any serious coach.

Over-all this was an easy to read and understand book. The special teams aspect of the book lack 5-3's on the power plays and penality killing.
