Hockey season is officially here, which means we’re back in the rink, yelling from the stands and trying to understand birth years and rankings. We’re talking tryouts that feel like The Bachelor, the pressure to win, and learning how to lose without rage-quitting.
We also have strong opinions on hockey celebrations, including the mysterious post-goal “woo” that Cat absolutely cannot stand, and cowbells that should be reserved for championship games (Cat can't stand those either).
Plus, we get into what it’s really like watching our kids compete, the highs and lows of being way too invested, and why one of us is already planning a post-hockey career as a DJ.
