Reviews
"Angie Abdou cracks open the world of the hockey mom with her distinctive, wry humour. Not only does she explore the winner-take-all hockey culture, she confronts her own place in it and the price it exacts on her family and her marriage. Brave and refreshingly candid, Angie delves into issues many of us grapple with but don't dare voice." -- Jan Redford, author of End of the Rope: Mountains, Marriage, and Motherhood, " Home Ice is an open, honest account of minor hockey life and I think parents with kids in hockey, or even considering it, should give this book a try." -- Allison Hikes the Bookwoods blog "The author brings a novelist's eye to the story, telling it in first-person present tense; with its sharp characterizations and dialogue in place of autobiographical exposition, the book is a first-rate memoir and a fine example of narrative nonfiction. It's also a must-read for parents with youngsters who play organized sports." -- Booklist Starred Review "A beautifully written and wise look at the troubling culture surrounding amateur sports through the eyes of a conflicted hockey mom. Home Ice reminds us 'the best lessons we take from hockey have nothing to do with winning." -- Erica Ehm, Creator and Publisher of YummyMummyClub.ca "Angie Abdou cracks open the world of the hockey mom with her distinctive, wry humour.

Brave and refreshingly candid, Angie delves into issues many of us grapple with but don't dare voice." -- Jan Redford, author of End of the Rope: Mountains, Marriage, and Motherhood "Needing more hockey books written by women in our canon, Angie Abdou delivers with writing so clear you can smell the arena ammonia and feel the ice shavings through a novelist's eye and a parent's heart. Abdou has emerged as one of the country's best writers on sport at any level." -- Rheostatics' Dave Bidini, author of Keon and Me and publisher of the West End Phoenix, " Home Ice is an open, honest account of minor hockey life and I think parents with kids in hockey, or even considering it, should give this book a try." -- Allison Hikes the Bookwoods blog "A beautifully written and wise look at the troubling culture surrounding amateur sports through the eyes of a conflicted hockey mom.

Abdou has emerged as one of the country's best writers on sport at any level." -- Rheostatics' Dave Bidini, author of Keon and Me and publisher of the West End Phoenix "Angie Abdou's son loves playing hockey; she loves her son. Ergo, she must strike a deal with the sport - with the expense, risk of concussion, crazy weekend commutes, early mornings, marital strains and occasional heartbreak involved in being a hockey mom. I don't give a hoot about hockey but I couldn't put this memoir down. As a former competitive athlete, Abdou has to rethink her focus on winning at all costs when it comes to her son's happiness on the rink. Home Ice is searingly honest, compassionate and always engaging. Anyone who has experienced the unique anxiety of watching a son or daughter play a team sport will be grateful for this truth-telling book." -- Marni Jackson is the author of the bestselling memoir The Mother Zone , and Home Free: The Myth of the Empty Nest "The author brings a novelist's eye to the story, telling it in first-person present tense; with its sharp characterizations and dialogue in place of autobiographical exposition, the book is a first-rate memoir and a fine example of narrative nonfiction. It's also a must-read for parents with youngsters who play organized sports." -- Booklist Starred Review "Angie Abdou cracks open the world of the hockey mom with her distinctive, wry humour.

Brave and refreshingly candid, Angie delves into issues many of us grapple with but don't dare voice." -- Jan Redford, author of End of the Rope: Mountains, Marriage, and Motherhood "A frank, funny, and highly emotional memoir, I found myself crying and laughing out loud and shaking my fist and nodding vigorously, and that was just in the first 50 pages. This is the book all hockey parents must read." -- Grant Lawrence, CBC broadcaster, goalie, and author of The Lonely End of the Rink
