Pee Wees: Confessions of a Hockey Parent by Rich Cohen

4.0

Quick read, resonated with me as a parent of a suburban Chicago hockey player (where Cohen himself played). I would have liked it even more if he had reported objectively on a peewee team ala Friday Night Lights instead of writing from the parent viewpoint. I found his analysis of the players, other parents, and coaches very interesting, but there seemed to be a lot missing about parenting a travel athlete other than being concerned about playing time. Or maybe he really was obsessed only with the game to the detriment of all other aspects of family life.
