Episode 04 - Gear Breakdown: Hockey Equipment Fails, Fitting Fights, and Parent Banter

Coach Phill joins the mums to break down the madness of hockey gear—what fits, what doesn’t, and why equipment turns every parent into a part-time pro shop manager.

This week, Amanda drags her husband (and resident “Coach Phill”) to the mic for a brutally honest chat about fitting hockey gear. Between their 23 years of relationship banter and rink-side laughs, you’ll hear exactly why this sport makes families a little pucked up.

From skates that never fit right to helmets, gloves, and the dreaded stink-bomb gear bag, we’re exposing the reality of how hockey equipment tests every parent’s patience (and wallet).

What you’ll hear in this episode:

• The never-ending battle of getting gear to fit properly
• A coach’s perspective vs. a mum’s patience
• Why hockey equipment is such a financial (and emotional) grind
• Amanda + Phill’s hilarious husband-and-wife banter that every hockey couple will relate to

If you’ve ever wanted to scream in the pro shop—or just laughed at the absurdity of it all—this one’s for you.
