Pee Wees: Confessions
of a Hockey Parent
Rich Cohen
A warm and witty journey into the world of youth ice hockey, where the game on the ice is only part of the story.
Rich Cohen, a former hockey player turned hockey parent, takes readers through a season with his son’s Pee Wee hockey team. Now, from the other side of the glass, he observes the parents and coaches: their ambitions for their children, the friendships and tensions between them, and the way winning can begin to matter more than anyone intended. The book is part memoir and part exploration of the world that surrounds youth ice hockey. Rich Cohen is in the midst of it all, openly examining his own reactions as closely as those of the people around him.

Why It Works
Written by a hockey parent, for hockey parents, Pee Wees offers a candid and often funny glimpse into the world of youth ice hockey. For new parents, it is a fascinating look at what lies beyond learning to skate and making the team.
Experienced hockey parents may recognise themselves in the ambitions, loyalties and emotions that can make hockey about so much more than the game — and perhaps laugh at themselves along the way.
