While I'm as much of a Gordie Howe fan as the next guy, these videos (it's a series) are NOT for anyone who isn't ready to listen to Gordie talk. There's little action, so your Mite or Squirt will be uninterested, and, let's face it, Gordie Howe might as well be Ernie Shore or Dinah Shore to anyone under 18. If it was presented better, it might be ok, but it has the production values of a bad driver's ed movie.

The Gordie Howe series of instructional videos seem like they are a hundred years old. Mr. Hockey did some great things in his illustrious career, but making a goaltending video sure wasn't one of them. Goalies should look for more updated versions of instructional materials in order to keep up with today's style. Hat's off to Mr. Howe, but keep this one with his jersey...retired.

The production value of this video was horrendous. It looked as if
it was recorded on used video tapes. Gordie and his sons glowed an eerie red throughout the video. There were some good tips that took advantage of Mr. Howe's extensive hockey career. However, I got the feeling that the video was full of fluff footage of little kids skating around which did very little in teaching viewers how to power skate. Easily 2/3 of the video was wasted footage and I couldn't help but feel ripped off.
