This week, Amanda sits down with Brandi from Kingston, Ontario—a hockey mom who doesn’t just sit in the stands. She’s a coach, team manager, fundraising coordinator, and billet coordinator for a junior hockey team, all while raising her own hockey kids. If anyone knows how to juggle the chaos of rink life, it’s Brandi.

In this episode, we cover:

• Hockey Mom Life → how Brandi first got involved and the highs and lows of raising hockey kids in Kingston.
• Behind the Bench → her coaching style, funniest moments, and what it’s like to coach her own child versus others.
• The Manager’s Playbook → the hidden tasks managers take on, how she stays organized, and what surprised her most about the role.
• Fundraising Done Right → creative ideas that brought the community together and which fundraiser was the biggest hit.
• Billet Life 101 → why billeting is vital for junior hockey, heartwarming stories, and how she matches players with the right families.
• Balancing It All → tips for surviving (and thriving) while wearing all the hats and keeping the love of the game alive.
