About this listen
Angela and Michael welcome fellow youth hockey parent Shawna to the show for a deep (and slightly stressful) dive into the world of goalie parenting. Shawna’s son, Chase, guards the crease as the goalie for his senior varsity team, and she shares what it’s really like raising the last line of defense.
From Chase declaring himself a goalie at a very young age to the eye-watering cost of goalie gear, Shawna walks us through the unique journey that comes with the position no one else wants. The conversation hits on the familiar goalie-parent experiences: the phrases constantly yelled from the stands, the pressure of every single shot, and the emotional roller coaster that comes with knowing one mistake can change the entire game.
If you’ve ever paced the rink during a breakaway, held your breath on a penalty shot, or wondered why your kid chose to get hit by pucks, this episode is for you. And while we cover a lot, we’ll be the first to admit—this conversation barely scratches the "ice" surface of what it truly means to be a goalie parent
