Before Rich Cohen wrote Pee-Wees: Confessions of a Hockey Parent, he thought he understood youth hockey parents..then he became one.
Scott and Jamie sit down with the bestselling author to discuss the real story behind Pee-Wees, the emotional pull of youth hockey, and how even self-aware parents can get caught up in rankings, team placements, and the pursuit of "what's next."
Rich shares stories from his own playing days, his son's hockey journey, and the lessons he learned after realizing that parents often spend so much time chasing the next step that they miss the season they're living right now.
In this episode:
The surprising status game behind team selections
What Rich learned after writing Pee-Wees
Adult league and youth hockey stories that are almost too good to be true
Why parents should stop worrying so much about the next team
If you've ever obsessed over tryouts, rankings, or the ride home after a game, this episode will feel very familiar.
