Book Reviews of Hockey Goaltending
Book Review: This book helped an aspiring goaltender
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm 30, never played a minunte of hockey, and want to play goalie. This is the book I bought. I loved it, because of the general all around information it provides. From stretching, eqiupment, technique , to mental toughness. It also does not talk down to you, as you were ten years old.My only complaint is the lack of depth in the equipment chapters. If it was an all encompassing book, I would have liked more information on kinds of different pads, masks, gloves, ect.
I recomend this book, they tried to help all areas, and I think it worked on me. And I now play goalie twice a week.
Book Review: Looking for basics?
Summary: 4 Stars
Excellent book for beginners. Well written book with good pictures make this one easy to use, smooth to read.Book Review: Good book that covers all aspects of the game for BEGINNERS.
Summary: 3 Stars
Very easy to read with lots of pics. It has lots of tips for beginners and helpful tricks. Whenever I read this book it refreshes my memory of the basics (what to and not to do). The techniques are not fully detailed but give enough info to help thoes new to the game, but it will only act as a refresher course for those in the higher levels of the game.Book Review: Good, but lacked goaltending technique substance
Summary: 3 Stars
I liked the book as it was interesting to read, but the techniques were few and far between. A lot of conditioning was covered, which personally I didn't care for, but may be necessary for those just starting out. Overall, it was worth the money as I am an avid hockey nut, but I was looking for more skill building techniques to be covered.Book Review: Good for beginners only
Summary: 1 Stars
This book is an excellent starting point for a young goalie. If you know nothing about the position, this will get you going.Unfortunately, all the instruction is terribly superficial, meaning an experienced goalie will find next to nothing in it to elevate his/her game.
If you are just starting out, buy it. If you've already been playing for a while, save your money.
