Hockey the NHL Way: Tips from the Pros
Gr. 4-6. Each chapter of this book covers either a skill or a character trait that creates a successful hockey player. Included are such basic concepts as speed, agility, teamwork, and consistency. The chapters consist mostly of a dozen or so short quotes from professional players and coaches. Some of the quotes deal with specific advice about parts of the game; most are of the sports cliche variety. Intermixed with the text are plenty of full-color, clear, action-packed photographs that may be the most appealing aspect of the book for young hockey fans. Readers who know the game may desire a little more meat along with the large heapings of inspiration. Others, probably those who as adults will enjoy hearing motivational speakers, can lace up their skates will new determination.Todd MorningCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved
