The term "hockey mom" is also interchangeable with "soccer mom", except hockey moms are usually found only in snowy parts of the US.<BR/><BR/>Basically they're mothers who bother to drive their sons and daughters to team sport practices, and take active interests in their child's sporting interests by going to see their games to give them their support.<BR/><BR/>It's a term liberals tend to use derisively, because such support is supposedly so uncool.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8707803.post-47967219652511456502008-09-15T20:43:00.000-03:002008-09-15T20:43:00.000-03:00It's understandable that the therm "hockey mom" wo...It's understandable that the therm "hockey mom" would puzzle anyone outside the North American culture, including those who live south of the more frigid areas of our continent where the winters are long and dark.
