Breakaway Parents

YOUR GUIDE TO THE GIRLS HOCKEY JOURNEY.

Hockey can feel overwhelming, especially when your daughter is just getting started.

House hockey. Travel hockey. AA. AAA. Tournaments. Tryouts. Private lessons. College recruiting. Professional hockey. It can quickly become a world of acronyms, decisions and questions.

We want to make it easier.

The Breakaway Parent Resource Center is designed to help families understand the game, navigate the development journey and make informed decisions about what’s right for their daughter.

You don't have to know hockey to help her love it.
