Home Ice ― Reflections of a Reluctant Hockey Mom
商品資訊
商品簡介
The author of the Canada Reads–nominated The Bone Cage tackles the ups and downs of amateur hockey, from a mother's point of view.
More than 570,000 people are registered in Hockey Canada and over 600,000 in Hockey USA. It's a national obsession. But what does that really mean when your child wants to play on a team?
As a former varsity athlete and university instructor teaching sport literature, novelist Angie Abdou is no stranger to sports obsession, but she finds herself conflicted when faced with the reality of the struggles, joys, and strains of having a child in amateur hockey.
In Home Ice, Abdou charts a full season of life as an Atom-level hockey mom, from summer hockey camp to end-of-season tournaments. With equal parts humor and anguish, she offers a nuanced portrait of today's hockey parent. Her revealing stories and careful research of an often troubling sport culture offer a compellingly honest and complex insider’s view of parenting today's young athlete in a competitive and high-pressure culture.
