There are a lot of how to coach hockey books, drill books, etc. out there, but this is the first book I found that teaches the finer points of the game. It explains the difference between what good players do and what elite players do, and what skills a player needs to be an elite player. It also has a chapter on elite goaltending skills. It is a must for any coach who wants to understand the game better and teach their players to play at a highly competitive level. It is also good for highschool players who want to know what it takes to play at the college level.
