Winning on wheels is the most complete book for drill, strategies from every aspect of the game (Offensive ,defensive,power play ,breakouts etc.). He illustrates very well and is easy to understand. I coach high school teams (J.V. and Varsity). Our team has improved vastly with these book strategies. I also coached a team of 14 year olds to a 3rd place in the NHL Breakout world championships in Tampa florida in Jan. 1999 (Roller Gators). As a coach this book has made me a very good student of the game of roller hockey. Looking forward to buying the next book from Greg

Short and sweet, this book is excellent for the beginner as well as the advanced roller hockey player. It clearly presents each and every aspect of the game in a way that everyone can appreciate. I like to touch and feel books when deciding on buying them, but take my word for it, this is an excellent book on Roller Hockey. It is like having a coach available 24 hours a day. It shows skills the beginner can use and drills for advanced players to enhance their play as well. You will not be disappointed.

This is a great book. It helped immediately just by reading it, let alone all the drills it includes. Did I mention the drills in the book? There are LOTS of them. Each is explained from a coaches standpoint and a players standpoint. This makes it obvious that this book is good for both the player and the coach. A definate must read if you're learning roller hockey.

Does a good job on explaining the basics of roller hockey instead of just using ice hockey skills. Good drill instructions for the coach. An item I wish was in place was the official roller hockey rules.

Book has the necessary detail to teach players and coaches without being confusing or difficult to follow.

An excellent travel team handbook with plenty of scouting ideas for teams and players.

Used extensively for team tryouts to help reduce bias.

I recently started coaching roller hockey and this book has been a godsend. I use it constantly to plan practices and drills. It covers everything from specific skills to offensive and defensive strategy. You might want to have more specific books on some in depth subjects (e.g. goal tending) but this does a great job covering all the basics. I highly recommend it.

Roller hockey is a nice book for a coach, with the focus on tactics and drills.

This is NOT a book on stickhandling,skating en shooting instructions !

Good info. The part explaining defense is especially helpful, i.e. when to defend against a shot and when to play the pass. It makes coaching ad teaching penalty killing and odd-man rushes a lot easier.
For the record, if you find yourself defending against a two-on-one, always cover the pass from inside.
