Hockey for Dummies (For Dummies)

Whilst the book is informative and sets out the game of ice-hockey in an easy to read format, some of the pictures supplied are 20 years old, and the most recent were taken in 2000.

For someone who wants to know more about the basics of ice-hockey, this could be a good read, but if you want a book on understanding hockey I'm afraid that you will need to go elsewhere.

Before I got this book my team had lost out on the league title, after reading it I managed to coach them to the playoff title, thus prolonging my career for another year at least. My new team has been issued this book to read on the bus to games, they will be tested on its contents once the season is over.

Hockey for Dummies is the best book you can buy on the sport of Hockey. It's takes a humorous and in-depth look at the sport. It answered all my questions and is a great reference for the rules if i'm watching a game on TV.

i have enjoyed other "dummie" books, however this book didn't answer my questions, and i was displeased.my questions were simple and the book didn't even touch on them. simple things about how to play. i had to look else where to find answeres.what a waste of money for me.

I have been a hockey fan for about 2 years, and when I heard about this book, I had to get it. It took me a while, but when I finally got it, I was not disappointed!!! Hockey for Dummies is an excellent book! It gives an in-depth look at the game, and is very understandable. It was also of great use to me because I have been thinking of learning the great and excellent sport of hockey, and this book tells me basically everything I need to know. I would recommend this book for anyone!!!
