EP 20 - A Hockey Dad’s Legacy Is Helping Kids Play the Game They Love

If hockey has ever felt out of reach—because of cost, access, or opportunity—this conversation matters. In this episode of Two Women Who Give a Puck, we sit down with Lori Highby, founding board member of the Joseph Cocking Memorial Hockey Scholarship Fund—a foundation helping kids play hockey regardless of financial barriers. After losing her father, a lifelong hockey coach and advocate, Lori and her family turned his legacy into something powerful—providing scholarships, creating opportunities, and opening the door for more players to experience the game.   🏒 In this episode, we talk about: - Why hockey is one of the most expensive sports—and what that means for families - How the scholarship fund works and who it helps - The impact of community in hockey (on and off the ice) - Why “belonging” matters just as much as skill - How one coach’s legacy is still shaping players today   This is more than a hockey conversation— it’s about access, opportunity, and making the game better for everyone.   👉 Learn more or support the foundation: https://joecockingmhsf.org/ [https://joecockingmhsf.org/] https://www.facebook.com/JCMHSF [https://www.facebook.com/JCMHSF] https://www.eventbrite.com/e/joe-cocking-memorial-adult-hockey-tournament-2026-tickets-1979115712372 [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/joe-cocking-memorial-adult-hockey-tournament-2026-tickets-1979115712372]   👉 Subscribe for more conversations about women in hockey, culture, and belonging: http://www.youtube.com/@TwoWomenWhoGiveaPuck [http://www.youtube.com/@TwoWomenWhoGiveaPuck]

EP 19 - Two Women Said Yes to Coaching… Only One Got the Opportunity

What happens when women step up to coach in hockey? In this episode of Two Women Who Give a Puck, we follow two very different coaching journeys.   One said yes… and was welcomed in. The other said yes… and was told no.   Both stories reveal something bigger about hockey culture, belonging, and what it really takes to create space for women in the game.   We talk about: • What it feels like to put yourself out there • The impact of being accepted—or not • Why communication and culture matter in associations • How women continue to show up, even when it’s hard • What belonging in hockey actually looks like   This is a real, honest conversation about growth, resilience, and why more women are needed in hockey—not just as players, but as leaders.   💙 Because belonging in hockey should never be something you have to earn.   Ep 15 - Kimmi & Kelly - Pre-Coaching Interview [https://youtu.be/EuaisPXXTjo]

EP 18 - If I Can Do It, You Can Do It | Starting Hockey at 40+ with Julie Johnson

🎙️ Welcome to Two Women Who Give a Puck | If I Can Do It, You Can Do It In this episode of Two Women Who Give a Puck, Sarah and Tera are back after a busy hockey season to sit down with Julie Johnson — adult women’s hockey player, hockey mom, and living proof that it’s never too late to start.   Julie shares her honest and hilarious journey into hockey, including: - Starting hockey at age 40 - Being terrified of the ice (and the goalie mask 😳) - Wanting to return her gear… and deciding to try one more time - Falling in love with the game anyway - Playing today in women’s leagues, including over-50 hockey - Bringing hockey into her family and community   This conversation dives into: - Why hockey can feel intimidating from the outside - Why adult women hesitate to try new sports - The power of being asked (more than once) - How women’s hockey builds real community, on and off the ice - Why hockey is more than a game — it’s belonging, confidence, and connection   Julie’s message is simple and powerful: If I can do it, you can do it.   If you’re a hockey mom, a former athlete, or someone who’s ever thought, “Hockey isn’t for me,” this episode is for you.   💬 Key Takeaway You don’t need to have grown up playing hockey. You don’t need to be “sporty.” You don’t need to be fearless. You just need someone to invite you in.   🎧 Listen, share, and don’t forget to invite someone else in.   Because women belong in hockey — at every age.   🔔 Subscribe for more conversations about women, hockey, and changing the culture of the game.   #TwoWomenWhoGiveAPuck #WomenInHockey #AdultWomenHockey #HockeyCommunity #HockeyMoms #GirlsInHockey #BelongInTheGame

EP 17 - Unbenched: The Untold Reality of Female Coaches in Minnesota Hockey

In today’s episode of Two Women Who Give a Puck, we share a powerful, true, anonymously submitted story from a Minnesota female hockey coach whose world was turned upside down overnight. After years of playing, coaching, developing players, and building a positive culture, she discovered—without warning—that she had been removed from her head coaching role and replaced by a man with no hockey playing experience. No explanation. No conversation. No accountability.   What happened next reveals a painful truth about female coaches in youth hockey: mistrust, dismissal, and unfair replacement are not rare—they are part of a wider pattern happening quietly across associations, even in the “State of Hockey.”   In this emotional episode, we explore: 🏒 The impact of losing a coaching role without reason 🏒 The message these decisions send to young female athletes 🏒 Why female coaches must constantly prove competence 🏒 How associations can make better, more equitable decisions 🏒 What support, advocacy, and community can look like 🏒 How YOU can help change the culture for girls and women in hockey   This story is raw, real, and deeply important. It’s a reminder that female coaches belong in hockey, their voices matter, and their presence changes the game for the better.   If you’re a coach, parent, board member, or anyone who cares about the future of girls’ hockey—this is a must-listen.   🔗 Share this episode with someone in your hockey community. 📩 Have a story?
