In our debut episode, meet your hosts Jess & Katie — two hockey moms with a lot to say and even more stories to share. We’re diving into why we started The Rinkside Motherhood, what life looks like outside of the rinks, and how we juggle work, parenting, and cold morning practices and games (spoiler: barely). Laugh with us, relate with us, and know this: you’re not alone. Our community starts here.

This episode is inspired by the Little Penguins Learn to Play Hockey Program – helping kids lace up and hit the ice for the first time. Learn more at https://www.pittsburghpenguinsfoundation.org/program/learn-to-play/.

Welcome to The Rinkside Motherhood — the podcast for moms who live at the rink & everywhere in between. In this trailer, meet your hosts - Jess & Katie, two hockey moms who know what it’s like to juggle early morning games, late night practices, cold rinks, and concession stand coffee… all while raising kids and trying to hold it together.

We’re here to share the real stories behind the rink — the car rides, the madness, the community, and the motherhood moments that happen in between the games. Expect honest conversations, a few laughs, maybe a vent session or two, and a whole lotta of heart.

If you’ve ever found yourself packing gear, snacks, or your last shred of patience in a bag - wondering, “How many weekends in a row can we do this?” — this podcast is for you.
