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's all in the job description for an NHL head coach. In Behind the Bench, Craig Custance sits down for film sessions and candid conversations with some of the game's most notable modern luminaries - names like Mike Babcock, Joel Quenneville, Dan Bylsma, Todd McLellan, Ken Hitchcock, and Claude Julien - all of whom share their singular views on topics ranging from leadership secrets to on-ice game plans. Dissect some of hockey's greatest moments with the men who set the pieces in motion. Go straight to the source on what it's like to manage a dressing room full of the league'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 - both wins and losses - are reflected upon and broken down in detail, making this a must-listen for current and aspiring coaches, players, and hockey fans alike.

That is not the case with this book though. Beyond the aggravating fluff in each chapter about the journalist's travel anxiety, the stories are part light biography and part walkthrough of key moments during the big games.
With that being said, it is still a very interesting book that taught me a lot about who the coaches were, how they prepared for a big game, lesser known details in the games (injuries, bad bounces, etc), and had some good quotes from players about the coach being interviewed.
As a penguins fan, I really enjoyed hearing Dan Bylsma and Mike Sullivan discuss 2 of the last 3 cup wins.
Not Quite as Advertised

It would have been far better read just in the narrator's normal voice without the weak attempts at dramatization.
Great story but the narrator- oof.
