A great resource,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Hockey Goalie's Handbook: The Authoritative Guide for Players and Coaches (Paperback)
Great book on the topic of goaltending. Alot of the bases are covered in the book for beginners, and lots of information to help coaches figure the position out as well. In my opinion this is one of the best goaltending resources out there.

By A Customer
This review is from: The Hockey Goalie's Handbook: The Authoritative Guide for Players and Coaches (Paperback)
Goalies are always looking for help so there coach can help them be better. The book has got good pictures so me and the coach can get along. The cool pictures of the pro goalies are awssome too. My coach says he likes the drills. Its a really good goalie book.

great book for young goalies & their coaches,
By michael clough (sf bay area) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Hockey Goalie's Handbook: The Authoritative Guide for Players and Coaches (Paperback)
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.
