About the Author

Elliot J. Coldwell

Elliot J. Coldwell is the editorial byline used for Hockey Basics Guide. The content is research-based and written for clarity; the byline does not represent a claim of professional playing, coaching, officiating, medical or equipment-certification credentials.

How articles are prepared

Each guide begins with a specific reader question. Repetitive topics are combined, terminology is checked against governing-body material and claims that depend on one league are labelled as variable. Product rankings are not published without a documented testing method.
