Book Reviews of Hockey Goaltending
Book Review: A high school coach's opinion
Summary: 5 Stars
This book along with The Hockey Goalies Handbook by Corsi and Hannon will provide enough information and differences of opinion for anyone from beginner to the high school level. Chaptes 2 and 3 on exercises and stretching are something that every goalie needs to consider. I can't recommend one book over the other because they complement each other so well.Book Review: Good start to finish
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a great primer for goalies. It has a good section on how to choose the right equipment, and the strength and conditioning section is very helpful. The pictures used are mostly of in-line goalies, but the techniques are pretty much the same. This is the kind of book that goalies at any stage can read and learn from.Book Review: The best book about goaltending I ever red
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best book of goaltending I had the chance to read. Even if all the techniques are not fully detailed, it gives you all the important rules to remember when you're between the pipes and also lot of useful tricks. I have learned something on each page I red. "Il est vraiment bien!"Book Review: Love, it's the 5 Stars
A great comprehensive goaltending book. Stretching, taking care of your equipment, practicing, playing, and visualizing...this book has got tons of information and is very helpful. I'd love to see some follow-ups going even further indepth!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.
