We've all been there. The early morning practices, the out-of-town tournaments, and that hockey bag that leaves a lingering odour in the minivan. So why do we do it? For the smiles on the kids' faces when they're on the ice - that's why.
In this special series titled "Life of a Hockey Parent," our beleaguered host Matt O'Neill takes us through several challenges that hockey moms and dads face. Matt has two boys in hockey, and knows all about the highs and lows of a typical season. You'll probably recognize several of these moments from your own experiences!
