Alright, #Badmumsquad, this one’s a beauty! We’ve got a full bench this episode with three hockey moms diving deep into the wild world of hockey lingo. From the basics every rink-side rookie should know to the insider terms that’ll make you sound like a seasoned pro, we’re covering it all. We might butcher some of it along the way but hey that’s what we are here for.
But wait—it gets better. We’ve got a special segment featuring a player dropping some hockey slang and lingo straight from the ice. Ever wondered what “flow,” “bender,” or “bar down” really mean? We’ve got you covered.
Get ready for laughs, some serious mom wisdom, and maybe a few terms you’ll want to forget you ever heard.

Posted February 24th, 2025
This one’s a beauty, #Badmumsquad! In this episode, I’m joined by the awesome Kelly from Minnesota—yep, I found her on Instagram and slid into her DMs like a total creeper (no regrets!). We’re swapping stories from opposite sides of the rink: Kelly brings the Midwest hockey heat, and I’m repping the chaos from Vancouver Island.
We dive into our wild hockey mom journeys, share laughs about early morning practices, and bond over the madness that comes with being rink-side warriors. Whether you’re in it for the love of the game or just trying to survive another weekend tournament, this episode’s got something for every hockey mum out there.
Big shoutout to Kelly—go follow her for all the real mom-life moments at @minnmomlife!
