Theresa Bailey, Hockey Mom/Author

Co-Author of 'Hockey Moms: The Heart of the Game' Theresa Bailey shares some stories from Auston's and Connor’s mothers, talks about how even NHL moms never stop being mothers FIRST, how both the kids AND the parents are growing/learning at the SAME time, why no child really wants to hear from their parents, the epiphany experienced when her 7 year old got a single shift after driving 3hrs to a game [!!!], the book-writing experience with co-author and well known Ottawa journalist Terry Marcotte, the difficulty for female coaches stepping into a role typically “for men,” how hockey culture changes must come from both top-down [executives] and bottom-up [grassroots], and why a positive experience comes when both the parents PUSH & the child PULLS!
