Too Many Men On The Ice
In Too Many Men on the Ice,
authors Julie Stevens and Joanna Avery examine all levels of women's
hockey in Canada and the United States, from the growth of the
grassroots game to the formation of the Canadian and American National
Teams. In-depth interviews with prominent players and quotes from
other women involved in hockey, from players to administrators and
officials, give fascinating personal perspectives on women's hockey.
The book is both a chronicle and a celebration. It reveals that
although women come to hockey in a variety of ways and find themselves
competing in a variety of circumstances, they share a profound love
for the game and an inextinguishable drive to excel. |

On the Edge brings the turbulent world of this steel-edged sport front
and centre. Interviews with hockey insiders and star players, vivid
photographs, a critical look at the media and the hockey
establishment, and the challenge of the first Olympics for women's
hockey provide a dramatic look at the history, controversies and
extraordinary popularity of the game, while highlighting the talented
women who play for the love of the sport. An excellent and current
book, Etue and Williams also do a great job in profiling the history
of Women's Hockey in each region of Canada.

Proud Past, Bright Future: One
Hundred
This book nicely complements On the Edge. While On the Edge is a more
current book, this book is more of a "coffee-table book"
that details the last 100 years of history of women's hockey. Packed
with numerous rare archival photographs and illustrations, as well as
comprehensive statistics on three (of the four) IIHF-sanctioned
Women's World Hockey Championships, Proud Past, Bright Future is an
incomparable feast of lore and legend that handsomely delivers
yesterday's glory and tomorrow's promise.

fitness.Peter Twist provides a comprehensive review

HOCKEY: DEFENSE—HERE’S HOWE
Gordie
Howe's Defense
is actually a pretty good instructional video for those who are
looking to improve their defensive ability on the ice. A lot of time is
spent on how to defend a one-on-one, two-on-one, three-on-one and
two-on-two.
The best thing about this video is the recap at the end. It is a
combination of all the examples back-to-back with the basic reminders for
each situation. The video emphasizes
staying in the middle of the ice, regardless of the number of people you're
facing, and force them to the outside where they have less
of a shot. Also,
rely on your goalie as
he's really the third defenseman.

Wayne
Gretzky's Train to Win (1999)
This
is a very good instructional video.
It covers all aspects of training, conditioning and nutrition. The coach that narrates the video with
Wayne Gretsky is very good. This
tape can be purchased through Amazon’s used sources at a fairly cheap
price. We bought our tape for
about $6.
