Greg Wyshynski's new book "Take Your Eye Off the Puck: How to Watch Hockey By Knowing Where to Look") will probably be helpful. I can't say for sure because I just started reading it last night and am only a handful of pages in.

u/_bobbykelso · 7 pointsr/hockey

This book helped me immensely when I first wanted to know what was actually happening on the ice.

u/psumack · 7 pointsr/Flyers

buy and read this book

u/Johnny_Burrito · 5 pointsr/hawks

I recommend picking up a used copy of Greg Wyshynski's book.

I picked up some finer points watching the game live, pretty close to the benches. Finally the whole When Do They Do Line Changes and Why made sense (especially as a soccer player, it's weird to watch a game that they don't blow the whistle to make changes)

This book was helpful.

u/Nick_1138 · 3 pointsr/hockey

I'm not a newbie to the sport or anything, but just for the Hell of it I picked up the following book: Take Your Eye Off the Puck by Greg Wyshynski

It's just a fun read and it'll give you some insight into things you might not pick up just by watching the surface. The author is a blogger for Yahoo! and he does a pretty decent job.

u/chairmanmauer · 3 pointsr/hockey

i haven't read [this] (https://www.amazon.com/Take-Your-Eye-Off-Puck/dp/1629371203) because I'm a cheap bastard but the author is a pretty respected guy I think and it looks like its not too expensive.

u/kingofthediamond · 3 pointsr/hockeyplayers

How about this book? I just read it and I really liked it alot

The book is Take Your Eye Off the Puck by Greg Wyshynski

u/Potvin_Sucks · 3 pointsr/goldenknights

There's a pretty good book called Take Your Eye Off the Puck which is pretty good at explaining hockey rules and culture on and off the ice.

u/v4vendetta77 · 3 pointsr/canes

You're already doing two of the best things you can do. The video games will help you learn the rules and going to the live games delivers the excitement. If you enjoy reading, I'd also recommend Take Your Eye Off The Puck by Greg Wyshynski.

u/fricn · 2 pointsr/wildhockey

The book Take Your Eye Off The Puck does a good job of explaining some of the finer points.

u/brotuzzi · 2 pointsr/goldenknights

If you're really serious about getting to understand the details of the game, this is a fantastic book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1629371203/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_-PSzybKJWY4KB

u/casperthegoth · 2 pointsr/BlueJackets

I read this book for general hockey info - it is beyond fantastic as a primer for all parts of the game https://www.amazon.com/Take-Your-Eye-Off-Puck/dp/1629371203/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1520231712&sr=8-1&keywords=take+your+eye+off+the+puck

Then you can read this one if you want to go deeper in the game mechanics - yes it is about advanced stats, but it really helps you understand the way the game works as they go through how these are effective: https://www.amazon.com/Hockey-Abstract-Presents-Stat-Shot/dp/177041309X/ref=pd_bxgy_14_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=177041309X&pd_rd_r=95WZ602VZZPEVN4HHYXW&pd_rd_w=W2ZUk&pd_rd_wg=F2J4k&psc=1&refRID=95WZ602VZZPEVN4HHYXW

These two are great books about the sport.

u/jdym00 · 2 pointsr/goldenknights

If you just started following the sport, don't concern yourself with learning players from a mock draft. Sure, some will land on your team but just wait it out a bit. Also, read this: https://www.amazon.com/Take-Your-Eye-Off-Puck/dp/1629371203

u/ashesinpompeii · 2 pointsr/hockey

It's not exactly what you are looking for but I've enjoyed what I've read of Greg Wyshinski's Book. It's a guide to the game, it breaks down the game and some of the things you wouldn't think of - the little moves to get an open shooting lane for another player, etc.

Greg is a good writer, and a funny guy. Check it out!

u/Thugable · 1 pointr/rangers

I read this book and he did an AMA in /r/hockey not too long ago. I cant remember the exact percentage that a dump and chase ends up into a goal, but its bad.

u/leafspackersfan · 1 pointr/hockey

Picking a team, I would just watch games and see who you like. Maybe pick up one of the NHL video games and do the same. I know it's not the best advice but nobody else can really tell you who to root for. I agree to pick a team in your time zone so you can watch the games. A good book is Take your Eye off the Puck, although it might be better once you know the basics already

u/slimmons · 1 pointr/sabres

I grew up in Tennessee (family in Hunstville and Selma, though!) and moved here about ten years ago. I got dragged to a Sabres game and they beat the Leafs 8-1, it was fucking great and I was hooked on hockey. What has helped me is watching a ton of games and seeing who is playing with who, who was on the "top" line versus the fourth, etc. The most confusing thing to me was understanding line changes and trying to see that since you miss the transition on tv sometimes. /r/nhl is a pretty great sub. I keep meaning to buy this: https://smile.amazon.com/Take-Your-Eye-Off-Puck/dp/1629371203/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1466940939&sr=1-1&keywords=wyshinski too, since even a decade in I sometimes feel lost.

u/Da-Aaron · 1 pointr/losangeleskings

Not Kings-specific, but if you're just getting into the sport, Greg Wyshynski's book Take Your Eye Off the Puck is a great place to start.
