I played competitive hockey from a young age. Early mornings, travel teams, tournaments every weekend. I loved it. But there were games where I wasn't thinking about the play — I was thinking about the car ride home.
My parents showed up for everything. They just didn't have a guide. So I wrote one.
What's inside the guide
How to tell which one your child is running on — and what the difference looks like from the ice.
The patterns most parents miss until it's already a crisis, with age-specific guidance for 7–10 and 11–14.
Real scripts for after a bad game, a tough loss, and the moments your child tells you something sideways.
What the research actually says about year-round single-sport hockey before age 12.
A transparent cost breakdown from house league to AAA, and a framework for budgeting without guilt.
A 20-question honest assessment with a scoring guide and concrete next steps.
"They will remember how it felt to play when you were watching. Make it something worth remembering."
