If you have any questions about the practicalities of making your own rink, please post them here.  We do have a Build your own Rink section in the site.

We’re brightening up the site with pictures of real, live hockey family life.  Practice, preparation, the game, doing homework at the rink, eating on the run — please show us.  We consider your sending a photo to constitute your permission to use it on the site, with no payment or obligation.  Please ensure you have the permission of any person in the photo before sending it to us.

Goalies play special, critical roles on the team.  They have additional pressures imposed by both the opposing and their own team.  They are the ones getting shot at each game, for one thing.  Post your concerns and visit with other goalie moms.  This is the place for goalie moms!

As the new season starts, so too does the www.hockeymoms.com blog!  I have wiped the slate clean and we await the comments, questions, requests of hockeymoms all over the world.  Take a minute and connect with your on-line support group and cheering section.  Have a great and safe year!  Liz

How does your hockey team handle problems/conflicts within the team?  Parents/coach; coach/players; players/players?  Do you have a policy set out at the first of the year? Care to share it?

What are your plans to increase attendance at games this year?  How many people is each family expected to invite to each game?  How do you tell the community the schedule so they can plan to attend?  Do you have door prizes for attendance?

Do you have a prize for the family that has the most invited people at games?

A hockey theme party has lots of potential.  From cakes (check the Food and Nutrition section on the main site) to re-named snacks to “what to wear?”, share your ideas here.  Photos welcome!
