Muther Puckers is by hockey moms for hockey moms. It's flannel. It's early wake-up calls and rink times. It's travel teams. It's stories from the pros, and the not-so-pros. It's the unmistakable smell of a duffel bag full of unwashed hockey gear. It's ice - sometimes in the rink and sometimes in a glass...surrounded by whiskey. It's interviews, information, and inspiration for hockey moms and those who have no choice but to love them.
