Editorial Reviews

Review
"An excellent resource for coaches and would-be coaches alike."

Product Description
After 14 NHL seasons, a Stanley Cup victory, and five years as a youth hockey coach, Bruce Driver is the ideal author to bring the highly successful Baffled Parent's formula to one of North America's largest youth sports. In Coaching Youth Hockey, Driver and "hockey mom" Clare Wharton help overwhelmed parent/coaches create a real, functioning hockey team and a valuable, positive experience for all kids.

Following the popular, user-friendly, tried-and- true series format, the authors guide you from the first parent-player meeting, through the first organized practice, right to the final buzzer of the last game.

Clearly and comprehensively, Coaching Youth Hockey presents everything a first-time coach needs, including:

*NHL drills appropriate for youth hockey, shared for the first time in print
*Numerous easy-to-follow play and drill diagrams
*Proven team-management techniques
*Tips on teaching hockey fundamentals

5.0 out of 5 stars This is NOT "Coaching Hockey for Dummies", November 3, 2004

By	T. Mazzaccaro (New Jersey) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When I first ordered this book I thought it would be just be another "How to..." book. This book is DETAILED. From the advise on managing your team to the skating, shooting, puck handling and checking fundamentals to the instruction for each and every position on the ice. And to top it all off there are countless detailed drills for every situation and level of team and player developemnet. As a USA Hockey Coach at the Bantam level, this book will go into my briefcase as a handy reference. This should not be the "Baffled" parents guide, but the "Detailed" Parents guide to Coaching Youth Hockey. This should be mandatory reading for every parent and coach before they enter the rink. This is truly an awesome effort.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best hockey guide I've ever read., November 10, 2004

By	M. J. Pine (Northville, MI USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book answered more hockey questions than I knew to ask. The material is presented in a clear, straight-forward manner with plenty of helpful diagrams and hints to make anyone successful at coaching hockey. If you're a coach, it will serve as your ultimate guide. If you're a hockey parent, it will show you what the coach can and should be doing for your child and the team.
