About the Author

Laura Zukosky is a devoted hockey parent who was once a normal person. In her first book, We’re Not Here for the Hockey, she provides a virtual scream pillow for all hockey parents. The book takes us through seven years of youth hockey on an athlete’s quest to play for a Division I college. Part memoir, part commentary, the book provides complicity in the mania of the minds of any sports parent.

This book took me through all the emotions of parenting. The highs of acceptance and wins; the lows of uncertainty and loss. Laura’s book is a masterclass in parenting, life, life as a sports parent and how to just be a good human being. Her navigation tips are the perfect touch of actionable advice in a delightfully entertaining life story.

L. Zukosky uses humor and wit to chronicle the parents' journey of dreaming their child could be “the next one.” This book is a must-read for parents who have lost sight of whose dream they are living and for gullible parents with a blank cheque just entering the hockey world. Her self-deprecating humor, real-life experiences and observations expose the lunacy of youth hockey. It’s an indispensable guide to parents of the next generation.

We’re Not Here for the Hockey hit home with the passion, drive and determination that it takes to pursue a dream in sports along with the struggles, sacrifices and perseverance that is takes to achieve it! Laura’s recount of the years spent was both funny and serious.
