Announcing the ebook edition of The Rookie Hockey Mom: How to Play the Game's Toughest Position

April 15, 2011 - PRLog -- Rochester, Mich., ― Long-time hockey mom and author Melissa Walsh and Powerplay Communications recently released, The Rookie Hockey Mom: How to Play the Game’s Toughest Position, ebook edition, updated and revised from the original 2005 paperback edition.

Priced at $9.99 the ebook version of The Rookie Hockey Mom is available for purchase and download at www.smashwords.com/books, as well as through Amazon, Apple, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Sony, and Diesel eBooks. Walsh and Powerplay Communications plan to release the revised print edition of The Rookie Hockey Mom in time for the 2011-12 youth hockey season.

In The Rookie Hockey Mom, Walsh, the mother of four hockey players, celebrates youth hockey as a fun and wholesome adventure for the entire family. She also candidly informs new hockey moms on how much youth hockey will cost them in time and money.  Moms who think that icing is for cakes and boards are for college will be saved embarrassing moments around the rink as Walsh educates them on the rules, terminology, and officiating signals of ice hockey. Chapters also cover purchasing and caring for equipment, tips on safely, development levels and guidelines, and advice for dealing with coaches and other hockey parents. There’s great insight into connecting with child hockey players, managing a team, choosing a league, and fueling young skaters with good nutrition.

Salted with quotes from hockey players and moms who’ve been there and loaded with the wisdom that only a real hockey mom can offer,  The Rookie Hockey Mom is a must for hockey-crazy families and the women who drive them everywhere.
