"I'm a controversialist. People either swear by me or swear at me." Lloyd Percival During his extraordinary career as an athlete, a health and physical fitness expert, and a media personality, but primarily as a coach, millions of Canadians swore by Lloyd Percival because he was a coach like no other coach Canada has ever seen. He not only instructed individual athletes and teams; he coached the coaches, and he shared his expertise with an entire nation. He did it personally, and he did it through print, radio, and television. For decades a household name from coast to coast, Percival was one of the most successful and influential figures in Canadian sport during the era of profound change f...
They called him 'Coach', but Lloyd Percival was much more. He introduced modern track and field to Canada, produced a blueprint for radically changing the way hockey was played, built the world's first modern fitness club, inspired and contributed to government policy on sport, and was instrumental in the success of Canada's best amateur and professional athletes.

The story of Lloyd Percival is the story of sport and fitness in Canada during an era of profound change, a story of the man most responsible for those changes and of his enduring legacy.

Russian and European coaches seized on the book as the first authoritative, analytical treatment of hockey fundamentals and based their training regimes on the principles Percival described. The father of Russian hockey, Anatoli Tarasov, wrote to Percival: “Your wonderful book which introduced us to the mysteries of Canadian hockey, I have read like a schoolboy.” Now, nearly half a century later,The Hockey Handbookremains in a class by itself. It is the first book required by pl...
