Pee Wees: Confessions of a Hockey Parent
A New York Times bestselling author takes a rollicking, personal deep dive into the ultracompetitive world of youth hockey.
In Pee Wees: Confessions of a Hockey Parent, the New York Times bestselling author Rich Cohen takes a rollicking deep dive into the ultracompetitive world of youth hockey. Cohen, the author of The Chicago Cubs: Story of a Curse and Monsters: The 1985 Chicago Bears and the Wild Heart of Football, turns his attention to matters closer to home: his son’s elite Pee Wee hockey team and himself, a former player and a devoted hockey parent.
Cohen takes us through a season of hard-fought competition in Fairfield County, Connecticut, an affluent suburb of New York City. Part memoir and part exploration of youth sports and the exploding popularity of American hockey, Pee Wees follows the ups and downs of the Ridgefield Bears, the twelve-year-old boys and girls on the team, and the parents watching, cheering, plotting, praying, and cursing in the stands. It is a book about the love of the game, the love of parents for their children, and the triumphs and struggles of both.
