Guests Vineeta Sawkar and Kristi Plante, along with host Jill Renslow, have something special in common: they are proud Hockey Moms. From early-morning practices to late-night tournaments, hockey moms know the meaning of dedication—and the power of community. Vineeta and Kristi are also co-hosts of this year’s Hockey Mom Face-Off at Mall of America.
In this episode, we dive into what makes the hockey mom experience so unique, the moments that keep them cheering from the stands, and what guests can look forward to at this year’s celebration of all things hockey family.
