<div>They are motivators, key strategists, tough bosses, and choreographers. They can be branded as heroes, ousted as scapegoats, quietly valued as friends, and everything in between. It&#39;s all in the job description for an NHL head coach. In <em>Behind the Bench</em>, ESPN&#39;s Craig Custance sits down for film sessions and candid conversations with some of the game&#39;s most notable modern luminaries&mdash;names like Mike Babcock, Joel Quenneville, Dan Bylsma, Todd McLellan, Ken Hitchcock, and Claude Julien&mdash;all of whom share their singular views on topics ranging from leadership secrets to on-ice game plans. Dissect some of hockey&#39;s greatest moments with the men who set the pieces in motion. Go straight to the source on what it&#39;s like to manage a dressing room full of the league&#39;s top stars or execute line changes with everything at stake. Signature games, including Stanley Cup finals, Olympic gold medal clashes, and World Championship contests&mdash;both wins and losses&mdash;are reflected upon and broken down in detail, making this essential reading for current and aspiring coaches, players, and hockey fans alike.</div>

Discussing topics such as what to look for when a team goes on the power play and why playing center might be the most grueling job in sports, <EM>Take Your Eye Off the Puck </EM>shows fans how to get the most out of watching their favorite sport.</DIV>
