New Team. Same Sh*t. Free Agency Starts in November.

Free agency season is here, and the hockey parents are NOT okay. 🏒😂
It's November 1st, four games into the season, and everybody's suddenly shopping for a new team. This week Cat & Nat cover:
Free agency chaos:the secret chats, the rumors, and the time a whole team watched one mom talk to two men in suits.
Ice time panic:the power play at the end of a game, when parents stop watching the game and start watching who's on the ice.
The case for a losing team:why the worst team might be the best place for a goalie, and why losing means learning.
The coach who said it out loud:"In 20 months, some of you will be playing against men." Also, a 15-year-old with a grown man's body doesn't have a grown man's brain.
Connor McDavid:the best player in the world, and he is no fun when he loses.
Life as a hockey parent: a questionable rink angle, a speed trap near the rink, a McDonald's that's the only saving grace, and a family-sized logistics operation just to get to a 4:15 practice.
Come for the hockey, stay for the potato-on-ice test. 🥔
