[Becky B · Rating 4 out of 5]

An introduction to many of the people who work at a hockey arena, the positions of players, the equipment used, and the basic rules.

I have very little interest in hockey personally, but some of the kids at our school do and this is a great way to introduce them to many aspects of the sport. I like that it included not just the hockey players, but the people who maintain the ice, the PR person, and more. The back of the book includes short bios for many famous players and facts about the sport, and the front of the book includes a glossary of hockey terms.

This was a very informative leveled reader on ice hockey. The narrator is a game official and he introduces not only the game of ice hockey, but the arena, and staff that it takes to run the game. There is a glossary in the front to introduce hockey terms and ten fun facts in back.

We have some young ice hockey players in our school that will definitely check this out.
