Rating: Summary: Hockey for Dummies Review: Covers a little of all of the basics of the game. I didn't expect great detail, but some of the subjects needed to be covered in more detail
Rating: Summary: Definitely for Dummies Review: For those who know nothing at all about hockey this may be a useful introduction, and that is apparently its purpose. It is rather shallow. Want to know what a "left wing lock" is? Or what the penalties are? Or what the basic theories of offense and defense are? Or even what the rules are? You can learn a very little about them from this book. But you'll learn more just by listening to the television announcers. Those familiar with the fine "For Dummies" series will expect more and may well be disappointed.
Rating: Summary: I am no longer a "Dummie"!! Review: 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.

Rating: Summary: Hockey for everyone! Review: Hockey for Dummies is the most comprehensive guide to the sport that I have ever read. Outstanding insight and thought by the author JD who knows the game inside and out, provides accurate and in-depth commentary about the sport. If you're just learning or want to learn about the fast and furious sport of Hockey, this book is a must. I keep mine next to the television remote during games to refer to the rules and plays section! Game ON!
Rating: Summary: No Longer a Dummy! Review: 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.) you will be able to get a no-nonsense answer to your inquiry. Understanding something about the sport makes it much more enjoyable to watch. I was particularly impressed with the guidelines for watching the games in person versus the televised ones.
Rating: Summary: Hockey? Not for me, thank you. Review: I got this book as a gift. Boy, this person doesn't know me very well. I don't like hockey. And this book doesn't help matters. Not at all. Its boring, and there are no interesting characters or plotlines. These guys that wrote this book clearly tried hard to write an informative book. I guess I recommend it for people who are interested in hockey.

Rating: Summary: This book rocks!!!! Review: 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!!!
Rating: Summary: disliked Review: 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.
