Tales of a Hockey Wife (Um, yeah, I don't think so! Thank you Janet Gretzky for letting me 'borrow' your body!) |
I find myself in my mid-thirties with two young children and a husband. (I do not find myself with the above figure, but a girl can pretend dream!) For 15 years, I have lived a life that revolves around the game of hockey. Somedays I love the game, and some days I despise it. Life as a hockey wife can be exciting, lonely, and eventful. This blog is a chance for me to compile my thoughts and try to make sense of the day-to-day challenges I face.
Mr. Coach* (*This is NOT my husband, I 'borrowed' this picture from the internet...so no use trying to figure out the team) |
After playing professional hockey for over nineteen years, my husband is now coaching in the sport. Don't let my posts fool you...Mr.Coach is a wonderful husband and father. The life of hockey is not for everyone. My husband appreciates my lack of "hockey knowledge" and the fact I can handle this crazy, yet wonderful life hockey has given to us!
Our first born is almost 8 years old. She has lived in seven cities in less than eight years, and she is a trooper. We are so thankful to have such a great daughter. If I had to describe my daughter in one word it would be PINK (or anything colorful...see photo)! Pink skates, pink hockey helmet, pink snow pants, pink gloves...she is a true girl who could care less about the game of hockey!
Our second born is almost 5 years old. He has lived in five cities in less than six years. If you had to describe my son in one word it would be SPORTS! If it involves a ball, a bat, a stick, or running, my son loves it and excels at it. Hockey is in his blood!
