I am not a hockey Mom….yet, but there is a chance that one day I will become one. I have been a dance Mom which took dedication, but I have no clue how being a hockey mom compares!
Sports teach children life skills like cooperation, team work and communication!
On March 17th, P&G launched The House that Mom Built website where Canadians can celebrate minor league Hockey Moms!
Hockey Moms play the role of the carpool queen, tournament manager, equipment manager, the official cheerleader, after-game snack maker and uniform washer, to name just a few. All of the roles that Hockey Moms play are important and they deserve to be shown by having their name virtually raised to the rafters.
Tide, Downy, Febreze, Bounty and Puffs
are here to help hockey Moms do their job!
To help out all athlete moms, P&G created the ultimate tip sheet to take you from the change room to the laundry room at home and help make caring for your athlete a little easier:
- Skates are expensive.
To save blades from rusting wipe them down after each and every skate but be careful, they’re sharp. Try using Bounty Duratowels which are tough enough to wipe them off. For efficiency, keep a roll in hockey bags. - The lingering smell of hockey equipment in the car is only made worse when the heat is turned on high in the winter. To get rid of car odour, try Febreze Car Vent Clip Air Freshener for 30 days of fresh scent.
- Runny nose after being in the cold arena? Coffee spill in the car? You’ll never have to search for a tissue with Puffs Car Cup – tissues specifically designed to fit in the cup holder of your vehicle.
- Jerseys and socks soak up the sweat, snacks, beverages, and worst of all, the odour that comes with being an athlete. To keep their uniform looking bright and smelling fresh, throw them in the washing machine with detergent, specially designed for sportswear. Don’t forget to sprinkle in a little love and lasting scent with Downy Unstopables for freshness that releases as kids move!
- Wet equipment left in a hockey bag after a game or practice is a breeding ground for odour-causing bacteria. To prevent odour, air out all equipment after every practice and game on a drying rack. After taking the equipment out of the bag, try spraying all equipment (even soles inside the skates) with Febreze Fabric Refresher Extra Strength for long lasting freshness. For a safety net, keep the to-go version in your purse for a burst of freshness anytime.
With help from P&G, I would like to offer you the opportunity to win a Hockey Mom Prize Pack including:

all sport is good for children
My daughter’s favourite sport is swimming. I have worked at our city swimming pool since she was a baby, so she was introduced to the water early. She really excels at it and enjoys it at the same time. Not sure I am looking forward to the early morning swim team practices, but luckily we live close to the pool so the commute time won’t be too much! 🙂
My sons love hockey in the winter and swimming in the summer.
I think basketball is great for children because not much equipment is needed, and they get to enjoy the fresh air (if the weather permits, and there is a basketball court nearby)
My favourite sport is volleyball.
Swimming is great for building self-confidence and fitness.
My son loves hockey and swimming.
Swimming is essential for everyone. Dance is their favourite.
I don’t feel there is any one sport that suits all children. If it makes a child happy and they learn new skills that is great. Swimming is important for safety, team sports are good for teaching co-operation, dancing and gymnastics teach confidence and help with flexibility. My grandchildren participate in these sports.
I hear what you are saying! It is what makes each individual child happy, right?!
He loves hockey
My personal favourite is gymnastics
Track and Field is good for kids because there are many events so they are bound to be really good at or really enjoy a few of them.
the kids love swimming
My daughter loves basketball
My boys are almost-5 and 7 years old. The youngest doesn’t yet have a favourite, although he says he wants to try baseball again this year. My oldest has been doing floor hockey this winter and has *really* been enjoying it a lot.

It is so difficult to say a sport that is best for all children. you have to take into consideration skill sets, likes, and abilities. My daughter was great at softball. She wants to try swimming and volleyball. I think it is important to try different activities. Just so she is active and works hard at whatever sport she joins.
I agree that every child is different for sure 🙂
