Product Description
This volume is the first in a series of books from the Czech technical hockey school and deals with the basic elements of hockey-skating. Because of the high playing skills and tactical ability demanded by this fast game, the individual will only be successful when the basic skill of ice-skating has become a natural function and is automatic. The book describes the basics of ice-skating (skating forwards and backwards, braking, skating in a curve, the cross-over forwards as well as backwards turns and starts). Twenty-five little games to practise the movements as well as 45 skating exercises are included to improve ice-skating skills, and these have proved themselves in practical work with pupils. In this way, hockey can be successfully taught and coached. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars A Hockey Primer
I picked up a copy of this book at a used book sale for twenty-five cents.For those who question some of the basic rules and terms of hockey, this is a brief but excellent book.Some of the rules are dated with the 1995 publication, but this is to be expected.Additionally, some of the metaphors/points of reference that are used may be lost on some people.Still, I would give the book to other to aid in their hockey knowledge. ...

1-0 out of 5 stars Defective
I'm returning this book as "defective". They have the audacity to not correct their error from 10 years ago when they put Bobby Orr as second. He is second to NONE. Saying it is a matter of opinion of who is #1 is like saying it's a matter of opinion who the best singer is - Frank Sinatra or Britney Spears? Or the best guitarist - Jimi Hendrix or Steve Miller. It's not opinion, it's OBVIOUS if you watch and listen instead of just looking at a page of statistics.

I bought the book on the off chance that they corrected their error. They didn't, so the book goes back!

Armchair players can head-fake their way around hundreds of multiple-choice or true/false questions. Bobby Hull’s false teeth were sold at a 2004 auction — true or false?

5-0 out of 5 stars Colorful anecdotes and history.
This is an excellent book for a young hockey fan who wants to learn about the colorful past of the NHL and the other leagues that formed around it. It's not a history book per se, and doesn't offer any organized history of hockey, but rather is a scattered collection of short anecdotes from all eras of hockey up until the early 90's. You are sure to laugh at some of the stories and grimace at others. The book is a light read and the anecdotes are just the right length for picking up the book and reading a dozen or so at a time. It only makes me wish they will put out an updated version in the next few years to cover the most recent decade of hockey. My only complaint is that the stories didn't consistently include the dates they were set in (though the majority of the time they did). Sometimes this made it a guessing game when the events took place. But other than that this is a delightful book for all hockey fans, old and young.

4-0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive Collection of Stories
The Best of it Happened in Hockey is a great collection of stories that span more than 150 years of the history of the game.I was very impressed with the variety of stories and I thought that McFarlane did a great job in making it a very well balanced book.There are some classic stories as well as rarely heard tales from all eras.

The book itself was laid out nicely and was very easy to read. This is a great book for anyone who is interested in some of the finer details of hockey history such as myself.McFarlane doesn't have the world's finest story telling abilities, but he's still a guy you want on your bookshelf.Though he doesn't produce a story with as much color as a Don Cherry or a Stan Fischler, his collection of data more than makes up for his shortcomings.

Overall, a superb book that any devote hockey fan will really fine interesting and entertaining.

5-0 out of 5 stars great stuff
From a person who loves the game of hockey, past and present,this book is excellent. Even if you know every stat around I guaranteetheres something interesting in this book that you didnt know. Do want to know about the fight that John Ferguson waited 10 years for? Well its in here along with tons of other hockey stories than any true fan can certainly appreciate.

5-0 out of 5 stars Incredibly entertaining hockey anecdotes.
This book ranks at the top of my list so far as hockey books are concerned.Unlike many books, this one does not contain a single complete story, but a collection of amusing anecdotes ranging from the late nineteenth century to the recent years of NHL hockey.Since there are differnt stories in this book, my interest was rejuvenated every time I would start a new one-page anecdote.I would recommend this book to any hockey fan of any callibre, from the new kid watching his first hockey season, to those older hardcore fans who remember Howie Morenz's style of play. ...

2-0 out of 5 stars For fans of youth hockey parents/old-timers only
This book is only for parents concerned about the state of youth hockey today or for old-timers that like to reminisce about the glory days, acting like the modern NHL is abismal.Hood strikes me as someone that just sort of threw this together without much thought, particularly without any consideration to the other side.He argues his point without even mentioning the other side's point, weakening his argument for those who appreciate hearing both sides of the story.Some parts are just sloppy.On one page he writes about how the two referee system is a good thing, a couple dozen later and he writes that it's a bad thing.The same goes for his attitude towards tag-up offsides and Don Cherry.

The main fault of this book, for me, is that it does not appeal to many diehard NHL fans.It just isn't for them.He acts like the NHL should be like pond hockey with little checking, no fighting, and much less competition.I'd like to see my team have fun, but I would never want them to treat it like a lacksadaisical pond hockey game.

Very contrary to the title of the book, Hood says little about the good of the game.In fact, most of his book is whining about how the game used to be and complaining about how bad the NHL is today.He should have named it "The Bad of the Game."I particularly disagreed with him re: the instigator.He actually argues that there has not been more stickwork since the instigator was enacted - clearly Hood watches a different NHL than I do.

If you're a parent of a youth hockey fan, you'll love it.If you like to reminisce and complain about the current NHL, you'll love it.If you're part of the 99% of the "other" category for NHL fans, you'll loathe it.

5-0 out of 5 stars The Good of the Game
Mr. Hood speaks eloquently from his experience about what is good aboutthe sport of ice hockey, what has gone wrong, and ideas about what we cando to bring it back to what it should be: a FUN game of speed and skill. This should be required reading for all players, young and old, parents ofyouth hockey players, leaders in youth hockey organizations, coaches, andfans.His words speak to the thoughts and concerns of thousands of parentswho are out there today, trying to come to grips with the insanity ofspending thousands of dollars a year for their kids to participate in whatis now a hypercompetitive year-round sport. Mr. Hood cuts through all therhetoric and offers up powerful common sense observations that I hope willlead the way to a grass roots effort to return a wonderful sport to what itshould be: an opportunity to teach our children about the values of teamwork, discipline, integrity, sportsmanship, dedication, and perserverance-- that fun comes as a result of accepting and fulfilling responsibility toyourself, your team mates, family, and community. Bravo and thank you Mr.Hood! ... Read more
