Canada's Best Hockey Instruction
Training Manual
Revised 8th Edition

WAHA Instructional Videos in DVD Format

Here are two excellent instruction training videos developed by the Wisconsin Amateur Hockey Association (WAHA) for teaching young defencemen in the 4 to 14 age group. 

They both show how to play this very important position.

I highly recommend it as an additional resource to compliment the Hockey Made Easy Instructional Manual. -  John Shorey
