Book Reviews of Hockey Goaltending
Book Review: Comprehensive Goaltending Knowledge for Ice and Inline!
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this book when I first got into hockey roughly 4 years ago. It's complete with conditioning drills, information on equipment, positioning stances, and what to do in key situations. In fact, the only reason that I've given it 4 stars out of 5 is simply because the information at this point could stand to be revised. Yet it covers both butterfly goaltending (which is the standard across ice hockey today) and stand-up goaltending (less common in ice hockey, but still very necessary for inline play.)
If you're starting to play hockey and want to be a goalie, I'll tell you right now that this book is very useful to get yourself going.
