What Customers Say About Hockey for Dummies:

Highly recommend this book. I ordered this book for a good general overview as my son has chosen to play hockey when no one else in our family has ever played before. I found it to be a great source of information for a beginner family.

Broken down into understandable terminology. Very informative book. A must for new fans and old ones alike.

These guys that wrote this book clearly tried hard to write an informative book. Not at all. Its boring, and there are no interesting characters or plotlines. I got this book as a gift. I guess I recommend it for people who are interested in hockey. I don't like hockey. Boy, this person doesn't know me very well. And this book doesn't help matters.

It is also imformative for new hockey fans and fans like myself who have loved the game for some years now this book was suprisingly very good. I really liked that it had a work out to follow and tips on playing from the pros to get you started playing hockey.

Understanding something about the sport makes it much more enjoyable to watch. you will be able to get a no-nonsense answer to your inquiry. I was particularly impressed with the guidelines for watching the games in person versus the televised ones. Hockey For Dummies was incredibly helpful when my son began playing the sport and we ended up getting so hooked that we started attending collegiate as well as professional hockey games. Nothing like a bunch of new hockey moms inquiring, "what is icing." to which another replies, "it's something you put on a cake."The book's format was very easy to follow, so no matter what you want to learn (penalties, history, etc).
