Book Description
Does hockey provide a better understanding of the differences between Canadian and Québécois nationalisms? Is there a fundamental relationship between the hockey arena and the political arena? What have we lost as a society in abolishing the tie game? Are salaries in the NHL really that outrageous? Is hockey more art than sport? Should hockey players be banned from using performance-enhancing drugs at all costs? Do goalies suffer from angst? Does our national sport have its own mythology and metaphysics? Do hockey brawls reflect our true human nature more than we would care to admit? And what would it be like if the great philosophers were to face off on the ice? A team of philosophy and hockey buffs go deep with these fascinating questions and many others in this examination of a worshipped sport elevated to something akin to a cult.

Book Description
This book emerges as a compilation of 33 different texts, produced by Andreu Enrich during the last three years. All texts revolve around the nature of our sport while addressing a broad variety of topics. You will find reviews from major hockey events, articles about the rules of the game and its different formats. But also reflections about how to manage your squad and the talent within your hockey institution. However, the most important part of the book is about coaching and playing, so the reader will find many articles on these two topics. Andreu's way of approaching these topics is eminently philosophical. He tries to highlight new points of view while provoking, promoting the surprise and the reflection of the reader. Andreu Enrich (Terrassa, 1984) is a former international hockey player and currently a hockey coach. He played most of his time in Atlètic Terrassa Hockey Club and also worked for the Spanish Hockey Federation.

Book Description
Ryan Stimson outlines a modern approach to playing fluid, creative hockey based on sound analytical research. He shows you, the coach, how to build a tactical framework from the ground up and illustrates how each aspect of the system links with each other. Part 1 details the overall philosophy behind team play, roster construction, and tactical decisions. "Should we play fast or slow? Which players should play together?" Part 2 takes a modern approach to hockey tactics, using years of quantitative research by Stimson and others determined to find more efficient and optimal ways of playing the game. You won't find a rigid system here, but a set of beliefs and ideology put on the ice that incorporates the highest levels of creativity, fluidity, and support. Finally in part Part 3, a narration of Stimson's coaching experience as he attempts to bring this style of play to life at the 14U level. What works? What doesn't? How does this new approach work when clashing with an old-school coach? Stimson reevaluates everything from names of positions to optimal routes in transition play. This book will appeal to any coach wanting to learn more about analytics, and to any analyst wanting to learn more about tactics. Stimson meets you in the middle and illustrates what can come out of union of the two: Total Hockey.
