Summary: Great book
Review: I had an idea of what I thought nutrition and being in shape was as a hockey player.....until I read this book. I bought this book looking to improve my game and that is exactly what has happened. Peter Twist takes his experience as a National Hockey League conditioning coach and gives us the same advice that he gives the pros. I strongly recommend this book to coaches and all players serious about taking their game to a higher level

Summary: Great in general but not aimed at me
Review: I loved this book and found a lot of useful training information in it, it was very comprehensive. However, this book is geared toward a coach or a very serious player, I am a rec player who gets to play one hour a week with no practice time on the ice at all, and I am lucky to squeeze three hour workouts a week into my busy schedule. I don't have time for aerobic conditioning 2-3 times a week, lifting wieghts, doing speed drills, etc, etc, plus taking rest days, not to mention actually practicing skating and really playing hockey! I would love to quit my job and condition for hockey all day, but it isn't likely to happen. That said, I was able to use the information in the book to develop my own workout program within my time constraints, to get the most benefit from what time I do have.

Summary: I haven't found a better source for ice hockey conditioning
Review: Peter Twist covers all aspects of conditioning to play hockey regardless of the level of play. He dedicates a significant amount of text to youth hockey players. This book is an essential read for youth hockey coaches, although it can be best applied to high school and above. Athletes that can adopt his methods, including nutritional guidance will have the edge.
