About the Author
Coach John learned to play hockey, growing up in Canada. (It is required knowledge if you live in Canada, eh!) He is not very interesting until he starts talking about hockey. Then, you can hear the life in his voice and see the enthusiasm in his person. (By the way, this is being written by his wife, Mrs. Coach John.) Coach John currently resides in the United States. While trying to teach his boys the art and science of hockey, he produced some of these worksheets, to start with the basics and help them along. If you assume kids understand what you are talking about, they will just stand there and keep smiling. But, if you ask them to explain something that you just went over, the real fun starts. Kids ask great questions. Coach John enjoys asking kids questions about hockey. Some of their perceptions are quite enlightening! Hockey Basics for Kids and Beginners is, in part, a result of some of the questions asked by kids, or to kids. It provides a solid foundation for terminology, rules, positions, equipment and layout. It reviews what the reader understands with quick, fun practice pages to reinforce learning. See you at the barn!
