Youth hockey season is officially back — which means parents everywhere have once again become unpaid Uber drivers with very expensive passengers.
This week, hockey moms Nicole Zellweger and Angel Milne join Coach Jared and Coach Drew to talk about the reality of raising high school hockey players.
We get into balancing school and hockey, homecoming conflicts, sleep, homework, club vs. high school hockey, player advocacy, off-ice development and how parents can help without managing every decision for their kids.
And then comes the big one:
💃 Homecoming or hockey game?
The coaches weigh in — and this might be one of those rare moments where hockey doesn't automatically win.
