Abstract

Hockey is a game of strength, speed, and skill. It is among the most difficult to master, the costliest to equip, the fastest to watch, and the most dangerous to play. It requires a combination of power, endurance, and flexibility applied within a confined space over a cold, hard, and slippery surface. It is a game of control and lack of control, both of emotions and flying objects. Hopefully, the reader will be better suited to understand the "culture" of hockey, both clinically and functionally, and can better interact with the men and women who play this fantastic sport, the one I hope to be playing for another 25 years, or until I finally get it right!
