Why respect a hockey mom?

There’s been a lot of weird news about the wild things some hockey moms have done. This has made some people wonder why these moms are worthy of respect. However, these few cases do not represent the majority of these dedicated mothers. In some of the reports on a wayward mother, it is clear that she was only doing what was best for the child. For example, she may have run out onto the ice to break up a fight between the players. What father can’t be blamed for coming to his son’s defense? It’s not easy being a hockey mom, but many people take it for granted. It is a given that a hockey mom is owed a lot of respect. Read on for some of the reasons why this is true.

Like any mother who wholeheartedly supports her child in the sports they play, a hockey mom makes many sacrifices. Money that she could have spent on herself she takes and buys hockey equipment so her son can play. Time that she could have been relaxing, she is working to make sure that everything is ready and that the child can focus on doing her best. The level of dedication and a hockey mom is close to, if not beyond, that of any star player.

A hockey mom not only has to make sure a child attends all practices and games, but she also works to make sure they do well in school. She wakes up early every morning, whether it’s the weekend or not, and she does whatever it takes to make sure the day runs smoothly and stays on track. That’s even when she’s been staying up late at night cleaning the house, doing laundry, taking care of business, and getting ready for the next day.

Even with a tight schedule, the mom takes the time to drive the child to each practice. Her devotion is such that she wants to make sure that her son arrives on time. She does this by transporting them herself. Hockey moms are famous for driving minivans and SUVs. She needs a big vehicle like that to have enough room for all the hockey sticks, hockey skates, and other players she might pick up on the way to practice.

A great hockey mom skill is the ability to plan ahead and always be prepared. Even in the hectic rush of the morning, she doesn’t forget to pack a snack for her son to enjoy after the game. She wants to make sure her son gets the proper nutrition and fuel to play and recover from every practice and game.

True hockey moms could never be considered slackers. They work very hard on game day to make sure the kid gets there on time. This requires a lot of preparation as you need to make sure the car is loaded with all the hockey gear and nothing has been left behind. Many moms start preparing for game day many days before it arrives. They make lists, map out routes, and create backup plans just to make sure everything goes smoothly.

All of these traits are what make a true hockey mom so respected. They may not actually put on hockey jerseys, hockey skates, or maneuver the puck around the ice with hockey sticks, but they are an important part of every team and contribute to winning the game. It’s time to give every hockey mom the honor she deserves.
