This week, Meaghan and Ashley are celebrating International Women’s Day—but let’s be real, we’re celebrating all year long! We’re diving into the history of IWD, why it matters, and how it connects to the world of hockey moms and female athletes.

From breaking stereotypes to supporting the next generation, we’re talking about girls in hockey, the challenges they’ve faced, and the progress being made. We’ll share personal stories—from being sidelined as young girls to watching our daughters step onto the ice today.

Plus, we highlight how the NHL, local leagues, and organizations are investing in the future of women’s hockey. And in our Gloves Off moment, we ask: Why did it take so long for girls’ hockey to take center stage? Let’s celebrate, reflect, and push forward—because when she wants to play, let her!

This week on The Hockey Moms Podcast, Meaghan and Ashley dive into the highs and lows of tryout season, where emotions run high and lessons abound. They discuss the grit, perseverance, and confidence players need to bring to the ice, the role parents play in balancing support and perspective, and the critical conversations about goals, rejection, and growth.

Sharing personal stories, they explore how tryouts are more than just team selections—they’re opportunities for players to rise to the challenge, embrace life lessons, and learn how to handle both success and failure.

Whether your player makes the team or not, it’s all about showing up, growing stronger, and building confidence on and off the ice.
