Ice Hockey Books

If you like to buy and sell Hockey cards, then this book will be extremely helpful. It lists all the cards that are found in this sport ever made. The pricing is also up to date. I have found it to be a valuable resource for myself, my store and my auctions.

The best Hockey Card source ever!! This is by far the best source for any hockey card collector. If you are looking for a checklist for any player or team this is the place.

THE HOCKEY CARD BIBLE! Its a must have

Great drill book, has almost every drill you could ever want. It is good for any age group. Very easy to use, and understand. I was a big help for me to create my coaching drill planner.

this drill book is excellent. dave chambers does a great job of diagraming
various drills that are easy to understand. A coach from any level can benefit from this book.Also, Amazon.com is very prompt in sending anything
you purchase through them. I've had a great experience doing business with them.
Thanks, Wayne Glover

A great book, especially for Bantum, Midget and High School levels. Many great fun full ice drills. Also, there are lots of coaching points to emphisize that even experienced players and coaches can appreciate.

This is the fourth book that I have purchased. By this publisher. The books are very well layed out and informative. Also the key points and the progression of the drills are also very helpful. These books have been a great help to me, seeming this is just my second year of Ice Hockey. And alot of these skills you can work on your own. This book is one that I highly endorse.

I read The Hockey Mystery. I thought it was good because it is a boxcar children mystery and I like mystery books. In the beginning Jessie and her brothers and her sister saw Kevin Reynolds. Kevin Reynolds is going to coach a girl's hockey team. I think kids 5 and up will like it.

The hockey mystery was great because you can learn a bit about hockey and the mystery was a great one.

This book is a great resource for all hockey fans. It has very in-depth career and season statistics of every player that played in the NHL the year before its titla date ('99-'00). I highly recommend getting this book if you are looking for stats fromthat season. However, this is pretty useless now, since there have been 2 updated editions.

You know when you're watching the game and you can't remember how many years Mike Ricci has been in the league or how the Ducks got Olaussen back again? This is the best quick look book to keep by the TV for watching the games. It's organized for easy reference with year by year stats on each player and key numbers such as height, weight, goals, position, teams etc.

Red Wings 2008 hockey. A must for your guy's bathroom reading. Mesmerizing photos. All Red Wings fans should own this book.

I absolutely love this collectable and in combination with "Forever Hockeytown" you can have an awesome reference for a stellar year for the Wings. Complete bios for the players along with stats, only... they did a massive disjustice to Tomas Kopecky... No bio, no stats just a inaccurate subnote on page 103 that list his name and gives Jonathon Ericsson's stat, you could look at it another way... Jonathon was not even mentioned after playing 4 game being a top prospect in the farm system.....But forgetting Kopecky after playing 77 games this season is completely negligent!!

An excellent book. You can tell the author has gone to great lengths to research the information. I have found only a few minor errors. The only thing that keeps this book from being rated a "10" is that goaltenders should have their own section.

Minor professional hockey has exploded onto the North American sports scene over the past 10-12 years. Ten years ago the East Coast Hockey League (ECHL) was founded in what was once nontraditional hockey markets. The success of the ECHL has been nothing less than stunning. Indeed, the success of the ECHL has spawned the likes of a reborn Central Hockey League, the West Coast Hockey League and the upstatrt Western Professional Hockey League. Why is this important to address? There are now nearly 2,000 professional hockey players in these and other minor hockey leagues in the United States. Each of the 2,000 generate statistics for goals scored, assists, penalty minutes, goaltending, and minutes played among a host of others. Sports are driven by statistics and Tom Schettino of Arizona has put them all together in this amazing compendium of numbers and comparisons of hockey stats for the 1996/1997 hockey season.

The stats section of the book starts with Tobias Ablad a defenseman for Jacksonville Lizard Kings of the ECHL and finishes with Sergei Zyagin of the Quad City Mallards of the Colonial (United) Hockey League. In between are every player's stats from every minor league franchise in North America. Interspersed are photographs from around the leagues. In addition, the back of the book features short term players for different teams, goaltending stats, and final league standings for the 1996/1997 season.

Any fan of the sport of hockey will enjoy the numbers in this book. It is an outstanding effort by Schettino who loves hockey and demonstrates that affection through his meticulous attention to details and accuracy in "The Ice Pages". This is a book for the research and fan shelf.

This is an excellent introductory book for parents of children who want to play hockey. It covers all the types of equipment involved, and offers suggestions on how to buy what you need. It discusses how to be a responsible hockey parent, and how to support and encourage your young player. Special attention is paid to the unique needs of girls (there aren't many for kids in the age group being covered by this book), and also the particular needs of goaltenders. I checked this book out from my local library, but have decided to buy a copy to keep at home for reference.

This is the best book for first time hockey parents. I had no idea how to tape a stick, buy shoulder pads, skates or even that there was such a thing as a neck guard.

The book is written by a physician and hockey lover, who knows his stuff. It has given me a lot of confidence when dealing with "more knowledgeable" parents and coaches. It has also helped me make it more fun for my kid.

If you have a kid who is going to play hockey: BUY THIS BOOK!!! The information on equipment and injuries is worth the price alone. Knowing how tape a stick and buy equipment has saved me a lot of time and money.

This book is a terrific almost day-by-day account of the experience Dave King had coaching in Russia. I was particularly interested in this title because, besides being an avid hockey fan from Minnesota -practically a Canadian province in terms of hockey- I am also someone who has been interested in first, the Soviet Union as a teenager, and now Russia and its transition away from communism. Before I read it, I wondered how the Russian players, media and fans would treat him. I also wondered whether or not and to what extent he would succeed in this literally foreign hockey league, if he would be mugged or meet the Russian mafia (as Russia has a bit of a reputation for "lawlessness"). I also wondered how he would manage to reside in a country and if he would be insulated from some of its problems. ALL of these questions are answered, but you'll have to read it to find out! It is a GREAT and EASY read!! I highly recommend it!

I really enjoyed reading this book. Had to put it down once in a while to get some sleep! I had read an earlier book about the first NHL player that went to Russia. This fits in well with that book. A very good update about the players. The world hockey that you don't hear about in the States, and Canada.
You will recognize the names. A good book.

All the reactionary whining when Neil Smith was fired after 40 days by the Islanders means that no "experts" in the media bothered to read or remember this book. Neil Smith is a whiny dork who watched as Mike Keenan underminded him at every opportunity. Read this book and be happy.

A worthy summary of the Rangers cup winning season and subsequent failure. Not quite a behind the scenes look at the team but lots of interesting antecdotes the average fan (like me) would otherwise miss. Great insight into Mike Keenan and why his tactics worked for the Rangers (until game 4 vs the Devils). Also gives insight into why they don't work now. I read it in two days and would recommend it.
