Hockey Moms: Realities from the Rink: Introducing 20 Women You Already Know
Julie Bertuzzi, the wife of NHL player Todd Bertuzzi and Hockey Mom extraordinaire, presents us with twenty hilarious portraits of the Hockey Moms we know and love. The perfect gift book for all seasons.
Straight-shooting, observant, and uproarious, Julie Bertuzzi's Hockey Mom s is an irreverent look at the many kinds of moms you are sure to find in the ice rinks, on the road, and in the hotel bars at tournaments across this hockey-loving continent. While always applauding the dedication of moms who support their players -- at early morning practices and on long drives to and from tournaments, in the triumph of a big win and the heartache of a big loss -- Bertuzzi pokes fun at herself and her fellow Hockey Moms, and brings alive the many characters she has observed during her years of experience as a Hockey Mom herself. Whether it's Big Mouth Betty shrieking from the stands, the Drama Queen stirring up trouble in the bar after a tournament game, Team Manager Mom with her clipboard and team jacket, the Yodeler, or the Leaner, readers will recognize and delight in these familiar profiles. This is a quick, funny read and a must-have book for Hockey Moms, and those who love them, everywhere.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
As a Hockey Mom myself, it was very easy to relate to the subject matter of this book.
It is obvious that despite the fact that author, Julie Bertuzzi is married to NHL player Todd Bertuzzi she is not just a stuck-up rich girl. No one who wasn't a Hockey Mom herself would be able to describe so succinctly the various types of Hockey Moms that exist.
The book is illustrated by Anthony Jenkins who has perfectly captured the style and idiosyncrasies of the different types of Hockey Moms. His illustrations make this book complete.
I laughed out loud a couple times while reading this book and even snorted a few times. I have met every single one of these "Hockey Moms" in the years that I have attended my son's games.
Every hockey family needs to buy this book! I wonder, which type of Hockey Mom are you?
THE TIMING OF THIS BOOK RELEASE MEANS THAT YOU NOW KNOW WHAT TO BUY FOR CHRISTMAS!
I rate this book as 5 out of 5 stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
