This is a comprehensive, practical manual for players, teachers, coaches, and officials at every level of the game. Divided into three sections, the book covers "components," which are players and coaches and the abilities required, the "workshop," which provides detailed information and analyses of individual and team skills, and "the support systems," with tips on practice, preparation, and team management. Fully illustrated throughout and written by a world-renowned coach, this is essential reading for all hockey coaches.
