Hockey Moms!
Have you ever heard the term “Skate Like a Girl?” Maybe it’s been in a negative connotation, in a male-dominated hockey world, but this next introduction couldn’t’ be more positive.
Alison Haenlin is part of opening doors for women and girls with her new book, “Skate Like a Girl” available NOW!
Alison grew up playing competitive boys hockey for the Cumberland Barons and was the only girl. Like so many before (and after) her, she had to get dressed in a janitors closet in her home rink because there was no other room.
It wasn’t until Alison went on to play for the University of Ottawa Gee Gees where she had her first ever female coach.
When I met Alison, she was channeling her passion for hockey through her work with the Ottawa Senators.
Now that Alison is a mom, “Skate Like a Girl” is just one more way to share that passion with her daughter and every other boy and girl out there. Alison is doing it with the intention of making a difference.
To give you a better sense of the book, here’s a back-cover blurb”.
Meet Kate. 👋 She's 7 but almost 8. 'SKATE LIKE A GIRL' is about trying something new and following your dreams…even if it's a little scary or different from what others are doing. 🏒 The “_____ LIKE A GIRL” series is about inclusivity, equality and empowering young minds to see their limitless potential- whether it be in sport, work or everyday life…regardless of gender. The possibilities are endless…and that is exactly the point. ♾
Just as impressive as authoring "Skate Like a Girl", Alison has partnered with two other strong women to develop the RISE LITTLE QUEEN, an independent Publishing House for modern times. RISE LITTLE QUEEN represent authors, artists, and books that invoke thoughtful conversations, encourage big dreams, and challenge societal norms.
That’s important work.
