great book for hockey moms

My son is 8 and just started playing goalie. I had NO experience with goalie equipment, skills or drills and being his assistant coach I was at a bit of a loss. This book was recommended by a great senior goalie (50 year old female!!) and she was RIGHT ON. It covers everything one needs to know about goalies from head to toe. It has great drills and kid pics so the little guys can look at the picture and understand. Of course being from Buffalo, we are huge Sabres fans so all of the pictures of past Sabre's goalies are GREAT! I would recommend this book for young, old, new, expert and anyone who is interested in the position of netminder!

Best of the Bunch!

I used to play hockey when I was much younger and now that I am getting back into it, I wanted to get as many books and videos as possible to remember the old skills and to find out how much has changed since I used to play. Of all the books that I bought and read, this one was the best in my opinion. I felt that it went deeper into the "How's and Why's" of techniques than Hockey Goaltending by Brian Daccord, which is my second favourite book. The way that Jim Corsi presented the concept of the Goaltender's "toolbox" was excellent for getting the information to stick in my head. Bravo, and thank you!

Helps me and my coach

Goalies are always looking for help so there coach can help them be better. The book has got good pictures so me and the coach can get along. The cool pictures of the pro goalies are awssome too. My coach says he likes the drills. Its a really good goalie book.

Cutting-edge Goaltending

The Hockey Goalie's Handbook is the most complete and cutting-edge goaltending resource on the market today. If you're looking for information on the technical aspects of goaltending, Jim Corsi has written one of the most complete and instructive books I have read. The Hockey Goalie's Handbook is the most progressive and comprehensive analysis of the goaltending position that is required in today's evolution of the game.

great book for young goalies & their coaches

As any goalie parent knows, most coaches have very little knowledge of what it takes to develop a young goalie. In the eight years since my son, who is now in prep school, started playing goalie, I have constantly looked for a good book that I could recommend to his coaches. This book is the answer. If he were still playing youth hockey, I would buy copies of it for all of his coaches.
