You know you’re a Hockey Mom when ...

• You carry a fleece blanket and winter coat in your car in August.

• We interrupt your regularly scheduled life to bring you your child’s hockey season.

• A Woman not afraid to admit that her regular family room and kitchen décor includes hockey bags and other gear.

• You choose your vehicle based on the number of hockey bags it will accommodate.

• You know the closest Timmy’s to every rink and exactly how many minutes it takes to get there.

• In Spring and Summer, you are a graceful woman of class, and then hockey season starts.

• When you spend more on a hockey stick for your child than you would on a pair of shoes for yourself.

• When someone asks you “How old is your son?” and you answer “He is an 04”.

• You know God found some of the loudest women and made them Hockey Moms.

• There is a mini stick game in the hotel hallway.

• You know that hockey tape, not DUCT tape fixes everything.
