This week on Pucked Up Hockey Mums, we flip the script on scouting life and shine the spotlight on the one holding it all together behind the scenes—Karry Lisle, wife of Scout Steve Lisle and proud hockey mum.

Karry joins Amanda for a heartfelt, honest, and raw convo about what it really feels like to send your eldest child across the border for university—12 hours away from home.

🎧 In this episode:

• The emotional gut punch of the first college send-off
  
  
• Balancing pride with panic as a hockey mom
  
  
• How she prepared (and what caught her off guard)
  
  
• Advice for other moms approaching this major milestone
  
  
• The real talk on identity shifts, grief, and growth

Whether you’re months away from that drop-off day or still knee-deep in minor hockey chaos, this episode is a must-listen for every hockey mum preparing for that next chapter.

🧊 #BadMumSquad | 👻 #SleepTightFrights

This week, Amanda sits down with a true hockey mum legend—Alysha, mum of four, including three hockey players, and married to the man who’s coaching all three… while also serving as the head coach for their hockey association. We’re not saying she runs on caffeine and adrenaline—but we’re not not saying it.

When she’s not in the stands, the locker room, or behind the wheel of her SUV-turned-equipment-van, Alysha’s diving headfirst into her next big adventure: launching her very own creepy podcast, Sleep Tight Frights.

👻 Yep, she’s swapping whistles for whispers—with spooky bedtime stories perfect for listeners who love a little chill before they sleep.

🎧 In this episode:

• The unfiltered truth about being married to “Coach Dad Supreme”
  
  
• How to survive when your life revolves around the rink
  
  
• Why launching a scary story podcast was the perfect creative outlet
  
  
• Balancing chaos, creativity, and cold arenas
  
  
• BONUS: A full episode of Sleep Tight Frights is included at the end!
  
  

If you’ve ever juggled a team schedule, snack duty, and spooky bedtime routines—this one’s for you.

📲 Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you tune in.

💬 Tag a hockey mum who’s doing all the things (and maybe haunting the rink too).

We’re zooming in (pun intended) on hockey parenting from the other side of the lens. Jeff—a dad who stumbled into hockey photography and somehow became his kid’s unofficial media crew—joins Amanda for a hilariously real convo on what it’s like when your “hobby” turns into a full-time, unpaid rinkside hustle.

From sideline shots to rink politics, Jeff spills on:

📷 How a basic camera became his rink pass

😤 Why yelling “Offside!” doesn’t help your kid—or your shutter speed

📸 Navigating rinks, egos, and unpaid gigs like a boss (or at least pretending to)

This one’s for the mums who can tape a stick with one hand, chirp refs under their breath, and survive an entire weekend on coffee and cold arena fries. In Episode 18, Amanda dives into the hilariously relatable world of hockey motherhood—those “you know you’re a hockey mum when…” moments we all live through (and sometimes cry-laugh about).

From 5AM rink calls to mystery gear smells, forgotten jock straps, and hotel hallway shinny—if you know, you know. This episode is part group therapy, part stand-up comedy, and full-on Bad Mum Squad energy.

If your car smells like a locker room and your wallet cries hockey tears—you belong here.
