Customer Reviews

This book covers things that the others don't!!

This book was extremely helpful to me. Not only does it cover the complicated stuff such as backwards crossovers but also the things no one else talks about. Things like getting up after you fall down! Another plus is the pictures. Everything from proper stopping techniques to the best way to put on all your gear step by step. This book is a must if you're thinking about playing ice hockey!

Now there's REALLY no excuse for women not to play hockey.

I've never seen hockey skills and strategy described as clearly as Aaron Foeste has in this book (without any oversimplifying or patronizing!). (Bruce Curtis' excellent photos don't hurt, either.) Skate, don't walk!
