Listen Later

Annessa Smith, wife of Jeff Smith, who plays for EHC Neuwied in the Del 4, joins me on Breaking the Ice today. Annessa has been living the hockey life for 13 years and in this episode we chat about:

 

  • Her mom passing away during the hockey season
  • Embracing the culture that you’re in and leaning into it
  • How to find things going on in the city that you live in
  • Her birth experience in Germany 
  • How it works when giving birth in another country and having no one to watch your first kid
  • How team cars following players when wives are about to have a baby should be mandatory
  • The adjustment from 1 to 2 kids
  • How teams can tell you certain things that are false so you’ll sign and play there
  • The struggle of not being able to get your kid into a daycare/school 
  • Kinder Krippe 
  • Having a home in Spokane in the Off-Season
  • Social anxiety and how Annessa has coped with social anxiety while living abroad
