Not only is that funny, but 100% correct. Great advice is in there for the parents of kids in ANY sport. The first hockey games in my division are just as the little kids are ending...and I can't believe the kind of behavior some parents display. It's sad, frightening, and often downright abusive.

Oh the stories. Two years travel ice with my oldest son and God knows how many years of HS Ice and Roller
with both my boys along with all the Skate Safe leagues.

I used to coach kids roller hockey during the summers at Newbridge Arena. The kids were too awesome for words. They went out and did their best, and gave us all a few good laughs while doing it. It was the parents that sucked and ultimately, it bothered me to the point that I just gave up.
