From minor hockey to life milestones, this episode tells the story of two friends whose bond started on the ice and never faded.

In this episode of Pucked Up Hockey Mums, Amanda dives into the journey of two athletes who grew up side by side in hockey—and built a brotherhood that carried them through every stage of life. From childhood skates and junior leagues to career changes and family milestones, their connection has stayed rock solid long after the final buzzer.

It’s a story that shows hockey isn’t just about goals and stats—it’s about lifelong friendships, resilience, and the unshakable bond forged in rinks and locker rooms.

What you’ll hear in this episode:

• How a childhood hockey friendship grew into lifelong brotherhood
• The role of sports in shaping resilience and connection
• Why hockey friendships often outlast the game itself
• Heartwarming (and hilarious) stories from life on and off the ice
• Why these bonds matter for players, parents, and families alike

Whether you’re a hockey parent, a player, or just someone who believes in the power of friendship, this episode will hit home.

Ever wonder what “bar down,” “bender,” or “flow” actually mean? We’re breaking down hockey slang and lingo so parents can finally keep up with the chatter at the rink.

This week, Amanda is joined by Brittany and Tricia for a full bench of laughs and lessons as we dive into the colorful world of hockey terminology. From the basics every rink-side rookie should know to the insider slang that makes you sound like a seasoned pro, this episode is your crash course in talking puck.

And because we love a little authenticity, we’ve even got a player chiming in with some lingo straight from the ice. (Spoiler: we butcher some of it—but hey, that’s half the fun.)

What you’ll hear in this episode:

• The most common hockey slang every parent needs to know
• Player perspective: real lingo used in the locker room and on the ice
• Why hockey culture is full of unique (and sometimes hilarious) terminology
• The #BadMumSquad’s best (and worst) attempts at using hockey terms
• A promise to bring in an official next time to fact-check us all

Whether you’re a new hockey parent or a seasoned rink rat, you’ll learn something new—and probably laugh at how badly we get it wrong.

Coach Phill joins the mums to break down the madness of hockey gear—what fits, what doesn’t, and why equipment turns every parent into a part-time pro shop manager.

This week, Amanda drags her husband (and resident “Coach Phill”) to the mic for a brutally honest chat about fitting hockey gear. Between their 23 years of relationship banter and rink-side laughs, you’ll hear exactly why this sport makes families a little pucked up.

From skates that never fit right to helmets, gloves, and the dreaded stink-bomb gear bag, we’re exposing the reality of how hockey equipment tests every parent’s patience (and wallet).

What you’ll hear in this episode:

• The never-ending battle of getting gear to fit properly
• A coach’s perspective vs. a mum’s patience
• Why hockey equipment is such a financial (and emotional) grind
• Amanda + Phill’s hilarious husband-and-wife banter that every hockey couple will relate to

If you’ve ever wanted to scream in the pro shop—or just laughed at the absurdity of it all—this one’s for you.
