Summary: Great for Beginners Too
Comment: I'm just starting ice hockey at the ripe young age of 38. I bought this DVD and the Laura Stamm DVD to help learn skating. While both are excellent, it seems to me that the Stamm DVD is going to be more useful down the line as I pick up more skating experience and comfort. The Glantz DVD I find more helpful in actually teaching the moves/techniques shown in the video; therefore, I find it more helpful for me right now as a beginner.

Summary: Excellent job!
Comment: If you want to get fast on the ice, this is your video to get there. By no means does this replace hours of practice on the ice, but it more than makes your time there a catalyst to boost your speed. You have to put in the effort though.
About a week after I ordered this, I fractured my leg so I was off the ice for 5 months. Once the tendons got back into shape I hit it hard with the drills in the video. I started with doing "dry land" drills in my living room in front of the tv to get my leg loose and teach the muscles to "memorize" that movement. Then came ice time. I know I'm faster because now I can catch the guys I played with before the injury when I used to just watch them fly to the other end of the ice. They're impressed!
If you're serious about getting faster and have access to a patch of ice on a regular basis, do these drills at least twice a week and you'll see your game improve greatly as you can now be in position to make great plays rather than watching them from down the ice.

Summary: The most useful hockey instruction video
Comment: Being an aduly rec player, this is the most useful hockey instruction video I've seen, and I've seen many. It's packed densely with information and produced flawlessly. The only complaint one mught have with it is that it doesn't teach some advanced moves, but volume II of this series does.

Summary: From Practice Cone to Hockey Player
Comment: This is a must have for anyone who wants to play hockey.
The camera angles and detailed instruction leave nothing to the imagination.
This is the best instructional video I have ever seen.
I'm 49 and have been playing hockey for about a year, I used to poke check at the other players as they went by, after a couple week of practicing the techniques on this video, I caught a high school kid from behind on a breakaway and kept him from getting a shot on goal.
