Jenn Army, wife of Derek Army, who is the Head Coach of the Wheeling Nailers in the ECHL, joins me on Breaking the Ice today!
Even though she is a coach's wife now, she started off as a player's girlfriend/wife and they went through long distance for 9 years! Jenn is a teacher and she shares about how difficult it was to get time off to go visit and really having to plan her time off around what worked for the hockey schedule, which also led us to talking about maternity leave for teachers and how unfair it is (and even more stressful with covid times!)
We also talk about:
- Being a Homebody and how this hockey life really pushes you outside of your comfort zone
- Long roadtrips in the ECHL as a mom and how it's basically survival mode
- We talk about how days off, aren't days off for moms (if ya know, ya know!)
- Call ups and send downs when you're long distance and dealing with the frustrations and uncertainties that come with this, especially when you are taking time off from work
- How long distance and the unknowns that hockey can bring can make your relationship stronger, if you're with the right person
- Transitioning into the coaching role
