About this listen
This week on Pucked Up Parents, Michael and Angela dive into the myth known as the “off-season.” Spoiler alert: there isn’t one.
They break down the world of spring and summer hockey — from skill camps and power skating clinics to tournament teams that are “super laid back” but somehow still require a bit of travel. Is it development? Is it fun? Is it just one more ice slot? Yes.
They also tackle the great multi-sport debate. Should hockey kids be playing other sports? (Yes.) Will they? Also yes — between ice times. The conversation covers gymnastics for balance, baseball for hand-eye coordination, golf for patience, and even laid-up fishing for mental recovery… because sometimes the best cross-training is sitting quietly on a creek bank.
The duo recap a weekend of high-scoring games that had parents updating GameChanger like it’s the stock market. Michael is slightly under the weather but refuses to sit this one out — especially when it comes to his passionate rant against cowbells at youth hockey games.
It’s a lighter, funnier look at spring and summer hockey — where the vibes are chill, the goals are plentiful, and the calendar is somehow still full.
