How to play hockey

I bought a few books from Lord's Sports Shop in downtown Montreal and I've used them here and there over the years.

The Hockey Handbook by Lloyd Percival, The Road to Olympus by Anatoly Tarasov and later Tarasov's Hockey Technique, How to Play Hockey by Tom Watt, Coaching Hockey by John Maher, Power Skating by John Wild, and of course, Howie Meeker's Hockey Basics.

My real education in the game came mostly from three other sources.

One, my own coaching using a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants approach.
