From the Author
A useful all around guide for roller players and coaches
Writing about roller hockey was a unique experience for an old ice hockey player like me, so I turned to an expert in the field for guidance. Dave Easter has a great track record in roller hockey and helping to put this book together with him was a very enjoyable experience. We have attempted to touch on virtually all aspects of play with drilling sequences to match. Hopefully, both beginners and seasoned players will find some useful information in these pages. I am impressed with the passion I find when talking with roller folks, and so it's a real treat to contribute to the body of knowledge surrounding this game which continues to grow and develop.

it is the best book ive readfor learning to play hockey it teaches you everything
Format:Paperback
Overall, I was diappointed with this book. The
main focus was on drills and I wasn't aware
of it. The drills in it are great. They have
many drills for each individual skill.
However, the text wasn't that good. It seems
like it was written from an ice hockey
player's view point. There was little
consideration for the difference between
roller and ice hockey.

A useful part of any coaches library
15 Dec 2006
Format:Paperback
Although I have never played hockey, I coach a youth roller-hockey team and I find the descriptions and drawings of basic skills extremely useful for improving my ability to explain the core techniques of the game
great for breaking down the game of roller hockey

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
As a collegiate roller hockey player and youth hockey coach this book was very helpful. It does a good job of breaking down the skill sets that are necessary to exel at roller hockey. The book also has many detailed drills specified for different team and individual goals. Would recommend to begining players, advanced players, and coaches alike.
