Sarah Palin proudly described herself as a "hockey mom" in her speech to the Republican National Convention Wednesday night. How do hockey moms compare with soccer moms? They probably have to pay a good deal more to get their kids on the ice; They may also have to wake up earlier, too; because ice time is limited, many teams are forced to have practice hours before school starts. Hockey partisans on the Internet also claim that hockey moms are a bit more intense than their soccer counterparts, both in terms of the commitments they make to the sport and the intensity with which they cheer their kids. Partially as a result, USA Hockey has spearheaded a "Relax, It's Just a Game" campaign to try to get parents to calm down.
