Episode 47: From Baseball to Breakaways - Learning Hockey As A Family

In this episode of Pucked Up Hockey Mums, Amanda sits down with Jesse — the voice behind House Full of Hockey — to talk about what it’s really like raising three boys in hockey when you didn’t grow up in the sport at all.Jesse shares her family’s journey from being a full-on baseball household to navigating early mornings, long drives, travel teams, and the emotional rollercoaster of youth hockey. With two boys playing travel hockey and a third finding his path in the net, hockey has become more than just a sport — it’s become a place of growth, resilience, and family connection.As a former team manager, Jesse offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at the invisible work that keeps youth hockey running — from logistics and communication to the emotional labour parents often carry without recognition. This season also brought new challenges, including tough outcomes and setbacks that forced their family to redefine success beyond the scoreboard.Jesse opens up about juggling hockey largely solo while her husband works demanding 12-hour day and night shifts, navigating youth sports alongside therapies and additional support needs for her youngest son, and how her background as an educator shapes the way she approaches development, pressure, and confidence in kids.Through humor, honesty, and real-life moments, Jesse uses social media to normalize the chaos of hockey parenting — reminding families they’re not alone in the grind, the growth, or the learning curve.This episode is for every parent who’s figuring it out as they go, redefining success, and growing right alongside their kids.🏒 In This Episode, We Talk About:Entering the hockey world with no prior experienceRaising multiple kids in different levels and positionsThe unseen work of team managers and hockey volunteersHandling disappointment and redefining success in youth sportsSolo parenting during hockey season and building systems that workSend a text Support the showNew episodes dropping weekly This episode was proudly sponsored by AAA Hockey Recruiting—your go-to for player development, showcases, and getting noticed at the next level.
