Behind The Awkwardness: Hockey Mom
January 21st, 2010
“This is a photo of my mom, my brother, myself, and my soon to be born younger brother. I’m awkwardly in the hockey equipment on the bottom left. A family friend talked mom into having us all pose for this photo. It went on to win some sort of award in a Newport, RI photo show. It also hung in our house while I was growing up, which made for some awkward moments when friends came over.”

Mom in her sports bra is a bit much even for me to look at. I hope the kids therapy bills aren’t too big. If the kids let this pic sit out as they became teenagers they are very good sports.
That’s not a sports bra. That’s a sleeping maternity bra!
Good catch, Crystelle!!!! That is a sleeping maternity bra if ever I saw one!
and shes not wearing shoes!! just socks!! lol
pregnant women get swollen feet, her skates were too small!
Sarah Palin’s lesser-known sister. Hockey Mom, indeed.
Good thing they got to wear their hockey masks.
Has anyone else noticed the shadow of the photographer in the background? Seriously? What kind of award could that win? Step out of the way of the light soure to take the photo!
I think that shadow is just from the mom…notice the direction of the light.
Thats definate;y the mother’s shadow…..otherwise the photographer’s shadow would have een right in front of them…doofus
It’s the reflection of the guy taking a photo of the photo in it’s glass frame…the guy who sent in the photo
yeah definitely the photographer, you can see the outline of his camera
brilliant!!! it is the reflection of the boy sitting bottom left after many years…
Is it wrong that I’m turned on by Mom’s sexy pregnant belly, sports bra and hockey pants???
Yes – yes it is.
in so many ways
ew…
No, Chris, this is a prize winning photo – for a reason
Is the boy on the right missing his right arm?
….in today’s news: amateur goalie has right arm completely severed in Zamboni incident…film at 11.
Not only is he missing an arm, but his goalie blocker is on upside down. UGH!
Looks like someone pulled the goalie on her
It’s just really wrong on so many levels.
I was gonna say…
Sara Palin -GO HOCKEY MOMS!!
Is it just my eyes messing with me or can you totally see through mom’s white bra?
I see them too…that’s hott.
all i can say is wow.
Oh… so this is why Jason donned a mask and went on a killing spree at Camp Crystal Lake. It all makes sense now….
LOL!!!
Methinks there was a deplorable lack of talent at the Newport, RI photo show.
for real… it looks ancient though. maybe the quality was just degraded over time.
hot flash?
is it just me or does the mom not have a right leg?
That’s why she is holding on to the boys heads. I think the guy with the chain saw had something to do with it.;
Hilarious!
The see-through bra is a nice touch–especially with the friends coming over.
This proves that the hormones brought on by pregnancy DO make you crazy.
Sean–you have my sympathy. I’m speechless. Which doesn’t happen often, trust me. Kudos to your very brave mom for subjecting herself to this…but…wow…
I second this. Poor Sean. Just… wow.
is this real life?
Nice to see she left her white socks on. I also like to scar my kids for life in comfort and warm feet.
you beat me to it
Oh my…..!
Hockey mom future playes in oven.
Where’s Donnie?
Wow…
I can’t believe a picture like this exists!
DON’T turn around Boys my shirts OFF!!! hahhahaahahahaa
Simply unbelievable
Wow they look so happy to take this picture with mom.
I’ve heard of “barefoot and pregnant” but “shirtless and pregnant”???
Lmao, I live there.
Looks like they had no good contenders that year.
This is hilarious and so creative! I bet your mom is smart and witty.
This woman was obviously not thinking of her children. What the heck!
This looks like it will be a very exciting race to the Cup. Like always, anything can happen come the finals!
They want to a hockey game and a pregnancy broke out.
A true hockey family
love it
At least the kid is sporting a jersey trumpeting the name of one of the greatest NHL goalies of all time: Cleon Daskalaskis! Oh man, I miss the early eighties.
At least the masks are hiding their faces pretty good! What an odd picture.
It’s an excellent picture…that’s why there is so much discussion regarding it. I am sure that they won for composition. Who has ever thought of composing a picture this way? Think of the message behind it. Very well done.
Funny he says this won an award in newport , RI. Im in the next town over and Hockey really isnt that popular here. Tennis on the other hand…..
What is she wearing around her waist? It looks like children’s snowpants or something .. is it also some piece of hockey gear? Or some maternity skirt type of thing? It has strange flaps at the top like she was peeled open ????
