Product Description

Product Description

The bible for hockey coaches at all levels of competition.

The Hockey Play Book is a practical handbook for coaches seeking better players and better team-play.

The book features systems for defensive, offensive and special-team situations, all accompanied by annotated, easy-to-understand diagrams. The systems range from conservative to aggressive -- some are intended for big, physical teams; others for fast-skating and highly skilled teams; and some work for both. Also included are teaching methods and drills for honing specific skills.

The first challenge for every coach is to determine the abilities of each skater. The approach in The Hockey Play Book is effective with players of all ages and levels of ability. Coaches can match systems with team strategy, bringing a special creative magic to one of the fastest team sports in the world.

The Hockey Play Book includes:

  • 500 step-by-step diagrams
  • Dozens of plays and skill-building drills
  • Conservative and aggressive systems
  • Teaching strategies for all levels of play

Ingram

Coaches and competitive amateur players of all ages will find this instructive book a "must read." Smith's systems are strategies for play that capitalize on a team's strengths and a coach's philosophy, and as such, they can be tailored to suit a wide range of situations.

First Sentence
FORECHECKING IS THE PROCESS OF ATTACKING THE OPPOSITION IN THE offensive zone and doing so in a way that leads to disruption, which leads to confusion, which leads to chaos, so that your team gains possession of the puck and scores a goal. Read the first page

By 
"delcophan" (West Chester, PA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Hockey Play Book: Teaching Hockey Systems (Paperback)
My son is the head coach of a Tier 1 girls hockey team. This manual has been invaluable for developing plays, systems and a players manual. I highly recommend this to any serious coach.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good book, Oct 24 1999
This review is from: The Hockey Play Book: Teaching Hockey Systems (Paperback)
Over-all this was an easy to read and understand book. The special teams aspect of the book lack 5-3's on the power plays and penality killing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for learning and teaching special teams and systems., Dec 30 1998
This review is from: The Hockey Play Book: Teaching Hockey Systems (Paperback)
This book is laid out in a well organized easy to read format that explains and describes systems and special teams options for every zone on the ice.

I was dissappointed that 5 on 3's were not spoken of from a power play and a penalty killing perspective. These can win and lose you hockey games. Overall though, it is and will be a good referance book for coaching.
