11 CDs on defense and systems and one on dumping the puck. sorry, I couldn't resist.

is that a good thing or bad thing?

Does it have much on offensive systems and awareness ?`

It was a joke about the way he coached.

wonder if it teaches you how to remain calm when your NHL team doesn't even pay for paper clips,etc in an effort to have you quit

The prices on these things are getting ridiculous....maybe its full of good stuff, but we also sell a stick handling set ( I think like 4 DVD's) for $100 bucks, sometimes it just makes ya think who would spend that kinda money on something like that.

"HERE'S TO THE POOR SAP THAT WOULD BUY THE CHIEFS!!!"

What I find funny is people who are more willing to spend $500 on skates or $200 on a stick to make them better instead of $20 or even $50 on something that will help them hone their skills.

They're not DVD's from what I've read, they're CD Roms that you use in your computer. You can print the information out and they have videos (mpgs or avis or something) that go along with the text. I wouldn't balk at the high price of the whole set except that #1 I don't know exactly whats in them - it is not like they are a book that I can browse first and then buy and #2 you're not getting "coaching" any more than if you get any other hockey book.

If someone could suggest a book that would go indepth as much as Constantine claims his CD's do, then I'd go get that first.

Hopefully they aren't like the Smarthockey CD's. I was really excited to get the first couple in the mail but they're terrible. The screen is too small (if anyone has them and can get full screen mode let me know), and they don't really explain a whole bunch.

The Vinny Lecav ones are actually pretty good.

Those are the ones I'm talking about, I didn't like how small the window was to see the drills, is there any way to make it larger? I think the drills are pretty good, but there just seems like there's too much going on with the user interface and stuff.

You can copy the videos right off the cd and view them in Windows media player at any size you like.

Ok - another year has gone by, any Feedback positive or otherwise on the content of these CDs?

I also wonder how up to date this stuff is given it was released so long ago?
