Episode 47: From Baseball to Breakaways - Learning Hockey As A Family

Saison 1 · Épisode 47

lundi 22 décembre 2025 • Durée 01:03:49

In this episode of Pucked Up Hockey Mums, Amanda sits down with Jesse — the voice behind House Full of Hockey — to talk about what it’s really like raising three boys in hockey when you didn’t grow up in the sport at all.

Jesse shares her family’s journey from being a full-on baseball household to navigating early mornings, long drives, travel teams, and the emotional rollercoaster of youth hockey. With two boys playing travel hockey and a third finding his path in the net, hockey has become more than just a sport — it’s become a place of growth, resilience, and family connection.

As a former team manager, Jesse offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at the invisible work that keeps youth hockey running — from logistics and communication to the emotional labour parents often carry without recognition. This season also brought new challenges, including tough outcomes and setbacks that forced their family to redefine success beyond the scoreboard.

Jesse opens up about juggling hockey largely solo while her husband works demanding 12-hour day and night shifts, navigating youth sports alongside therapies and additional support needs for her youngest son, and how her background as an educator shapes the way she approaches development, pressure, and confidence in kids.

Through humor, honesty, and real-life moments, Jesse uses social media to normalize the chaos of hockey parenting — reminding families they’re not alone in the grind, the growth, or the learning curve.

This episode is for every parent who’s figuring it out as they go, redefining success, and growing right alongside their kids.

🏒 In This Episode, We Talk About:

Entering the hockey world with no prior experience
Raising multiple kids in different levels and positions
The unseen work of team managers and hockey volunteers
Handling disappointment and redefining success in youth sports
Solo parenting during hockey season and building systems that wor

Saison 1 · Épisode 38

lundi 13 octobre 2025 • Durée 01:03:19

This week, Amanda sits down with Thomas Gobeil — a player who’s lived every Canadian hockey kid’s dream and seen the pressure behind the draft from the inside. From the nerves of being scouted at 15 to navigating the realities of junior hockey life, Thomas opens up about the grind, the culture, and what happens when the dream starts to clash with real life.

They dive into the Canadian draft process, what scouts really look for, and how players balance school, performance, and mental health while chasing the next level. Thomas also gives his take on the ongoing CHL class-action lawsuit — and what it means for the future of players like him.

It’s real talk about hockey politics, passion, and the pursuit of a career in the sport we all love.

This is one for every parent, player, and fan who’s ever wondered what really happens behind the locker room doors.

Episode 37: From the Streets to the Sheets: Coaching Teen Resilience into Hockey Success

Saison 1 · Épisode 37

mardi 7 octobre 2025 • Durée 59:40

Before she was a hockey mum in Berlin, Melissa was a youth worker in London—supporting teens who had been expelled from school and were at risk of prison. Now, she’s raising two hockey players of her own: one a striker in both ice and skater hockey, the other a goalie in skater hockey.

In this episode, Amanda dives into Melissa’s powerful story: how lessons from youth work transfer directly into parenting and coaching in sport. From building resilience, to helping kids understand who they are, to guiding them in following their dreams—this conversation is as much for parents as it is for players.

We’ll cover:

What it’s like parenting two very different roles (striker vs. goalie)
How coaching techniques from working with at-risk teens apply to the rink
The differences between hockey culture in the UK and Germany
Key takeaways for parents raising young athletes today

Melissa’s journey proves that success in sport isn’t just about skill—it’s about identity, resilience, and the people who guide us along the way.

👉 Whether you’re raising a hockey striker, a goalie, or just trying to keep your kid motivated, this episode will inspire you to see parenting through a whole new lens.
