Product Description
What do Sergei Fedorov, Bret Hedican, and Teemu Selanne have in common? They have agility, balance, control, speed, quickness, and power. And what do all-star goalies have in common? They're competitive, constantly learning, consistent, organized, and responsible.

This fast-paced compilation features easy-to-follow analysis of the game's core skills; personal tips from the experts; full-color action photographs of players in game situations; and clear, concise how-to instructions with step-by-step photos. Skating, fitness, scoring secrets, defense, and goaltending — it's all here in this indispensable, one-stop how-to manual for both players and coaches. Whether en route to a career in the NHL or skating for enjoyment, young readers will be inspired to do their best no matter what their skill level or position.
Reader Reviews
-Hockey How To Play Like The Pros- is one of the best books out there for kids (and their parents) to learn about hockey skating, shooting, fitness and game tactics. This is not your typical "drills" book with too many confusing diagrams but one that covers the skills that make up a foundation for hockey players. For example, section 2 of the book is titled "Skating for Power and Speed" and devotes one page (with pictures) to each skating skill such as Stance, Body Positioning, Skating Backward, Edge Control, Tight Turns, Corssovers, Crossunders, Pivots, Stops and Starts, Hockey Stop, Explosive Starts, Crossover Starts, Stability, and Full Extension. This is the format throughout the book with many many pages devoted to shooting, fitness, defense, goaltending, special teams. This is one of the few Hockey books that teaches player and team skills in such as way as to be not boring or overly technical. Read a page and try the skill. It would be a great book to take to the rink and practice a few skills each time you go. It is sort of a reference using good color pictures (I wish there were more of them). It also has short tips from (and great pcitures of) NHL players which are a great insight into what skills were important to them as they developed. Although the book is aimed at 9 - 12 year olds, don't be fooled. This is a serious book with great information for all ages and beginner to intermediate skill levels. it is written as to be very readable for adults and probably anyone with an interest in hockey skills and tactics. Anyone who is learning hockey should have this book.
