Pee Wees: Confessions of a Hockey Parent with Author Rich Cohen

Ridgefield Library and Books on the Common present an online Author Talk with Ridgefielder Rich Cohen who will discuss his just released book Pee Wees: Confessions of a Hockey Parent.

Rich Cohen, the New York Times–bestselling author of The Chicago Cubs: Story of a Curse and Monsters: The 1985 Chicago Bears and the Wild Heart of Football, turns his attention to matters closer to home: his son’s elite Pee Wee hockey team and himself, a former player and a devoted hockey parent.

In Pee Wees: Confessions of a Hockey Parent, Cohen takes us through a season of hard-fought competition in Fairfield County, Connecticut. Part memoir and part exploration of youth sports and the exploding popularity of American hockey, Pee Wees follows the ups and downs of the Ridgefield Bears, the twelve-year-old boys and girls on the team, and the parents watching, cheering, conniving, and cursing in the stands. It is a book about the love of the game, the love of parents for their children, and the triumphs and struggles of both.

Copies of the books are available at Books on the Common, 203-431-9100 and can be personalized & signed upon request.
