"Jack and his team’s exhaustive work on these books is invaluable for players (or even fans) to help see how the different systems can work with different teams and players."

"Excellent book for any level coaching. Jack gives you an opportunity to be in the driver seat and a step ahead of your competition!"
"Jack always does a great job with this series. I like that he’s added some drills to think about how to employ these system. I always buy this book at the end of my season. As the NHL playoff ramp up I’ll pick a team to watch to study for an off-season project. I’ll use this book to double check what I am seeing in that teams system play."
