I thought it was "hockey mom"?

And by the way, what the hell is a "hockey mom"??? I've been wondering ever since I heard the term in connection with Sarah Palin.

;-)

What do you do to qualify as one and why does it matter? I assume it means that you drive your kid to the hockey practice, but I'm not 100% sure. If it is that, why would anyone care? What difference could it possibly make?
