An exploration of parenting, sports, and the suburbs, all through the sport of children's ice hockey.

What The Reviewers Say

Mark Rotella,
The New York Times Book Review
... thoughtful, lively.
Lucy Heckman,
Library Journal
The losses and wins are vividly recounted along with the camaraderie of teammates and their parents—as well as disputes, rivalries, and jealousies.

Publishers Weekly
Cohen scores with this heartfelt account of watching—and agonizing over—his 11-year-old son’s season playing kids’ competitive hockey.

Kirkus
If the author’s heartfelt, often brutally funny depiction of peewee hockey is accurate, then soccer moms and baseball dads have nothing on the frighteningly obsessive mania of hockey parents.
