  Hockey Math 101: The Formula for Organized Chaos

  Jul 31, 202653 minS36

  It may be summer, but class is officially in session! In this episode of Pucked Up Parents , Michael and Angela tackle Hockey Math —and trust us, it's not the kind you learned in school. From the science behind the game, including rink dimensions, shooting angles, puck velocity, and the geometry of the perfect pass, to the advanced calculations every hockey parent somehow becomes an expert in, they break down the numbers that make youth hockey possible. Learn how parents solve impossible equations like getting to a 6:00 AM game on time, stretching the family budget to afford another season, dividing weekends between multiple kids' schedules, and estimating exactly how much a road trip tournament is really going to cost (spoiler: it's always more than you think). Whether you're calculating shooting percentages or the odds of leaving the house without forgetting a piece of equipment, this episode proves that hockey parents deserve honorary math degrees. Grab a pencil, sharpen your skates, and prepare to laugh—because in youth hockey, the numbers never lie... but the budget definitely does.

  You're Going to Wear THAT!?!; A Guide to Youth Hockey Style

  Jul 24, 20261h 8mS1

  On this episode, Michael and Angela dive into the ever-evolving world of Youth Hockey Style . They take a trip down memory lane, from the days when kids showed up to the rink in cartoon pajamas, mismatched clothes, and bed head… to the teenage years when it’s all about arriving in suits, sunglasses, headphones, and gold chains looking like they are heading to the NHL Draft. The conversation covers every stage of hockey drip—from picking the perfect jersey number and customizing helmets to rocking colored skate laces, tinted visors, cages with "hang", and the latest trends. Of course, Michael and Angela also talk about the parent side of it all: surviving the mullet phase, becoming the designated gear carrier, loaning out Dad’s suit and accepting that somehow your child now has stronger opinions about fashion than you do and it makes you feel 100 years old Whether your hockey player still wears superhero pajamas to early morning practices or spends more time planning their pregame outfit than taping their stick, this episode celebrates the fun, funny, and sometimes expensive evolution of youth hockey style

Whether you're dealing with a sprained ankle, a stomach bug making its way through the locker room, or your first trip to the ER after a game, this episode mixes practical advice with the humor that every hockey parent needs to survive another season.
