One Hockey Dad's Perspective

Jeff Foxworthy Would be Proud

A YHH reader sent this to us.  A Jeff Foxworthy-esque comedic attempt to narrow down the crazy hockey parents here in Minnesota.  As a huge fan of the game, YHH sees several of these behaviors, thankfully not all. The opinions of this writer is not that of the staff and ownership of Youth Hockey Hub or any of it's proprietary entities.

You might be a crazy hockey parent if…

  • If your son/daughter is 15 and you still tighten their skates…You might be a crazy hockey parent
  • If you’ve been to Fargo and Winnipeg more times than Florida… You might be a crazy hockey parent
  • If you spend more money at the local hockey store than your wife does at Target… You might be a crazy hockey parent
  • If you tell your kid spaghettiOs isn’t really pasta and therefore shouldn’t be eaten before a big game… You might be a crazy hockey parent
  • If you log in to the Youth Hockey Hub website before that first cup of coffee in the morning… You might be a crazy hockey parent
  • If your SUV has so many hockey decals displayed that it resembles a NASCAR… You might be a crazy hockey parent
  • If you think swimming in a pool is really going to affect your kid’s mite hockey game the next day… You might be a crazy hockey parent
  • If a concession stand hot dog and blue Gatorade constitutes “dinner”…. You might be a crazy hockey parent 
  • If you think you would be a good coach just because you played Pee Wee hockey back in 1983…. You might be a crazy hockey parent
  • If you’re at Minnesota Made so much that Bernie gives you your own parking space… You might be a crazy hockey parent
  • If you’ve lived in the same house yet your 11-year old son has been part of three different associations … You might be a crazy hockey parent
  • If you’ve never had to use your cars navigation system to find a rink….You might be a crazy hockey parent
  • If Twitter and Facebook is your idea of promoting your son in hopes to get him/her a D-I hockey scholarship…You might be a crazy hockey parent
  • If going on a family vacation means going to another AAA tournament … You might be a crazy hockey parent
