The Incredible Hockey Drill Book

Excellent resource book. It covers all skill levels, ages and will make a fine addition to the avid Ice Hockey player or coach. If you can't find a drill in this book that will help you take up figure skating.

This book is full of drills. I believe after looking through it that I could coach a team with the way it lays things out for you and shows you how to manage a practice. It has slogans for getting motivation and a bunch of other handy coach type things. Thats only the first chapter or two. After that there is hundreds of drills for all sorts of situations. They break out each type of skill (skating, shooting, passing, checking, etc...) and give 20 to 30 drills for each skill. Each drill comes with illustration, an explanation, and variations to throw into the drill to mix it up. I only got this book to help me get some drills to do to practice but after looking through it I believe it would be a great addition to any coach or wannabe coaches library. This would be perfect for the beginner coach.

I use this many times a season to grab a drill or two when needed.

As a coach of a club level 11-up girl's team, this book is the "go to" book for drills for skating, stick handling, shooting, etc. The drills are described in detail, and each one has a drawing to make explanations to the players more simple. This is the book I refer to the most, (second only to the USA Hockey info) for coming up with practice plans and season goals.
