Product Description

The most comprehensive guide to the art and science of goaltending

The past decade has seen a tremendous surge of interest in hockey. More colleges and universities have added programs. Hockey leagues are sprouting up in such unlikely places as Florida beach communities, New Mexico desert towns, and the Texas flatlands.

Coauthored by Jim Corsi, goaltending coach for the Buffalo Sabres, The Hockey Goalie's Handbook is the most comprehensive guide to mastering the most demanding hockey position: goalie. Drawing upon his extensive coaching experience at all levels--from peewees to pros--Corsi explores all facets of goaltending. From the psychology of being a goalie to choosing and purchasing the right equipment for an individual's style and needs, to drills for improving timing, coordination, reach, and speed, Corsi covers all the bases with invaluable advice and guidance as well as tips and techniques for aspiring goalies, parents, and hockey coaches.



From the Back Cover

Master the Art of Goaltending--with a Top NHL Coach at Your Side

Hockey tradition dictates that "the goaltender is in a team sport, playing alone." But with this comprehensive, cutting-edge guide from top NHL goalie coach Jim Corsi, goalies are now in expert company. From the history and psychology of goaltending to the most recent developments in equipment, techniques, training, and coaching, The Hockey Goalie's Handbook covers all facets of the art and science of goaltending as applied to both ice hockey and in-line programs.

Drawing from his extensive knowledge of both North American and European approaches to goaltending, as well as his decades of experience at all levels, Corsi shares with you his indispensable toolbox of techniques--including those he's taught to some of the world's best hockey goalies. Designed to instruct and challenge coaches and their players of all ages, from pee-wees to high schoolers and beyond, this definitive, user-friendly handbook covers such essential topics as

  • Equipment basics
  • Off-ice training
  • On-ice preparation and stretching
  • Skating drills
  • Techniques for saves and puck control
  • Strategies for game situations
  • Game and player awareness
  • Tips for coaching aspiring goaltenders
  • Tips for parents

and much more to expand your understanding and enjoyment of one of the most demanding, crucial, and rewarding positions in this increasingly popular sport.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best of the Bunch!, February 21, 2005
I used to play hockey when I was much younger and now that I am getting back into it, I wanted to get as many books and videos as possible to remember the old skills and to find out how much has changed since I used to play. Of all the books that I bought and read, this one was the best in my opinion. I felt that it went deeper into the "How's and Why's" of techniques than Hockey Goaltending by Brian Daccord, which is my second favourite book. The way that Jim Corsi presented the concept of the Goaltender's "toolbox" was excellent for getting the information to stick in my head.

Bravo, and thank you!

3.0 out of 5 stars Great for beginners, wish there was more, February 28, 2007
By Giovanni Fioramonte (Niagara Falls, NY USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is an amazing general overview of becoming a goaltender. the beginning of the books is more-or-less common sense for goaltenders that are already playing, but the middle of the books and the drills at the end serve as a great refresher course. If your a beginner, this book is great. If you want a refresher course in goaltending, you should also buy this. I believe that the only thing lacking in this book is a more in depth section on equipement. Not everyone understands what they are supposed to be looking for.

5.0 out of 5 stars great book for young goalies & their coaches, June 10, 2002
By michael clough (sf bay area) - See all my reviews
As any goalie parent knows, most coaches have very little knowledge of what it takes to develop a young goalie. In the eight years since my son, who is now in prep school, started playing goalie, I have constantly looked for a good book that I could recommend to his coaches. This book is the answer. If he were still playing youth hockey, I would buy copies of it for all of his coaches.
