Explains hockey in simple terms.

[Sandy Rechtsteiner · Rating 4 out of 5]

Unfortunately this book is out of date but very descriptive on everything hockey. I think it would be great for a beginner or some one that wanted to know more about the game.

Very nice concise hockey primer. Would make a good reference for an older kid or for any fan of the sport. Clear explanations provide condensed info that is readily accessible to anyone. It needs another run through for me (for non fiction I often have to read multiple times). I also have and, to me, this little book is actually as good if not better. HFD is larger and the text is laid out in such a way (as are all dummy books) that it is actually much less texty than it appears. Ice Hockey Made Simple really is just that - simplified but thorough coverage. Highly recommended!

Great book for sports simpletons like me to help you understand the basics of the game and some of the nuances too. Includes info on some famous players as well. Very helpful.

A bit outdated, I already knew that some of the rules had been changed. It helps one to understand better the players and other schematics of the game

A joy for the brand-new hockey enthusiast; this book took me from puzzled spectator to serious fan.
The guide to the officials' hand signals was most helpful.
