Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
'Hockey is a game that demands good sound skills as the foundation for both individual players and the team, ' writes Mike Smith. And team success, he adds, is simply a reflection of coaching success.
In The Hockey Coach's Manual: A Guide to Drills, Skills, Tactics and Conditioning, Smith presents a winning formula for the hockey season.
Complete with over 125 step-by-step diagrams, this book helps coaches set up a season-long program and walks them through a host of dryland and on-ice training regimens that will build team cooperation and enhance individual ability. Dozens of skill-building drills provide coaches with the tactical and strategic advantage vital for matching a tailor-made hockey system--whether based on conservative or aggressive play -- to the achievement level of players aged 9 to 18.
A timeless and accessible handbook, The Hockey Coach's Manual is invaluable both as an introduction and as a quick refresher course to the challenging responsibility of coaching hockey.

this book was decent I got it because I wanted to get in shape like a hockey player due to a class offering for the subsequent semester at my college of ice hockey (they never had it) there where not many hockey fans at my school so it was subsequent to impossible to do half the workouts because they involved more then 1 person but with a little tinkering you can help it fit your needs

All in all, I picked up very few ideas from this generally bland manual, and the illustrations (clay figurish poseables) can, in their most flattering light, be described as abstract (or boring or unhelpful). There is not a single photo of an actual hockey player in the entire book. Large sections provide mostly-irrelevant info, in a well printed format trimmed in color. Towards the back their is some basic strategy that is useful, but as w/ many hockey manuals, these require a great deal of patience to piece together from the diagrams--nothing new.

Since the publishing of this book, Micheal Smith has become the General Manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs. After reading his book, I can understand why. Mr. Smiths insights into hockey coaching are very easy to follow, with increasing skill level for various ages, from 8 year olds to junior. He covers all aspects of hockey coaching, from preseason preparation,including off ice drills and individual skill development, through to description of systems for defence and offence. Well balanced that covers a lot.
