4.0 out of 5 stars The Short Course to Winning Hockey Strategies, December 2, 1999

This review is from: Winning Hockey (Spalding Sports Library) (Paperback)

This book covers most aspects of strategic play and principles in all zones of the ice and situations likely to be encountered by coaches involved in the Novice to Peewee categories of ice hockey. The explanations and diagrams are easy to follow and would also be useful to the arm chair enthusiasts who desire to upgrade their understanding and appreciation of the viewing of the game. The basic principles are well illustrated and the more complex strategies are avoided which serves to keep things simple and easily digestable. Some of the jargon tends to be specific to the author's locale but generally is well explained.
