"This is intro to hockey, and it's time to begin!"

Lucy and her family are skating on an outdoor rink when she sees a game of hockey going on. It looks like fun, but maybe too challenging.

Reviews for Lucy Tries Hockey

[carlathelibrarian · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Lucy and her parents are skating on the pond when they see some kids playing hockey. Lucy is excited and asks her parents if she can play hockey. They say yes and sign her up with a group of children learning how to play hockey with a great coach. She gets all the equipment she needs to be safe and learns the drills including warming-up, speed up, hopping lines, touching their knees, and so on as well as shooting the puck and puck handling. She loves it, especially when she gets the puck in the net.

This is a wonderful book to encourage kids to get involved in sports whether it is a traditional male or female sport. With so many women and girls playing hockey now, it was great to see a book about this sport geared to girls. It is written in rhyming cadence and the illustrations enrich the text greatly. This book is a winner. A great book to be in home, class, school and public libraries. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book via Netgalley.

A fun book geared to get girls interested in Hockey. Traditionally thought of as a boy’s sport, hockey wants girls to know they can play too. The book rhymes, and shows good sportsmanship and even includes some info bits at the end. Overall a very success read.
