Welcome

Welcome to PuckParenting, where we know that behind every great hockey player is an exhausted, coffee fueled parent trying to remember what day it is! Whether you’re the rink-side cheerleader, the master of carpool logistics, or the one desperately googling “how to remove hockey smell from car,” you’ve found your tribe.

Here at PuckParenting, we embrace the chaos that comes with raising a hockey player. From early morning practices (when did 5AM become a thing?) to navigating the mysterious world of hockey gear (wait, they need how many sticks?), we’re here to laugh, commiserate, and maybe even learn a thing or two together.

So grab your favorite rink-side snack, settle in, and let’s face it- being a hockey parent might be a little bit insane, but we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Welcome to the game!
