2.0 out of 5 stars Lots of show but little meat, October 8, 2000

Luc pulled some strings to put this video together. Visually its very nice. Lots of candid hockey and TV/Film stars. Enjoyed the section on how equipment is made. Its a good video for someone wanting to look at playing hockey from the 5000 foot mark. As for education of hockey, drills and anything which you may look at as a coach, its almost useless. The very few drills that are done are difficult to view due to un-needed special effects. If you looking for a "coaching" or player improvement video, look at the Power Roller Hockey series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just what was needed, July 20, 2000

I bought this movie because my children love to play both ice hockey and roller hockey. It does a good job of covering both topics but the thing I appreciated the most was how much they stressed having the proper equipment before playing. This point coming from professionals backed up everything I try to stress to my children. My children have worn this tape out so I consider it a winner.

3.0 out of 5 stars You could do better, October 5, 1999

This review is from: Ice & Asphalt: World of Hockey [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video covers a wide variety of hockey topics from conditioning, to skating, to equipment manufacture, to hockey video games which are quite interesting. However, Luc Robitaille is stiff and a cheesy presenter, and some of the interviews are downright contrived. Also, don't expect too much from the star billings - Jason Priestley and Mike Myers say about one sentence each.
