The Ultimate Hockey Drill Book

Book excerpt: When we say ultimate, we mean it. The first book in a two-part series, The Ultimate Hockey Drill Book can break coaches and players out of a practice rut. Relying on his years of coaching experience, author Richard Trimble divides the workout into four areas: warm-ups, individual skills, combined skills or team work, and conditioning. Trimble also shows coaches how to organize drills to best utilize precious rink time. And if your time on the ice is limited, this book is indispensable. Trimble believes 75% of hockey skills can be taught off the ice, and he shows you how you can. Included are chapters on powerskating drills, agility drills, stickhandling drills, passing drills, shooting drills, and hi-tempo advanced passing and shooting drills.
