((HT: Winnipeg Sun, youtube/atacandman))
First thing the HQ will do is give you a little backgrounder...
Just watch what happened Monday night in a rink near Winnipeg...
The Sun is now reporting that Jason Boyd, the booming voice in the arena of 15-year-olds, has been banned and may face further action...
“My son was hit and was laying on the ice, not moving, and the rink became deathly quiet,” said Chuck Kitson. “And out of that quiet came a big booming voice, yelling at the referee that my son is a midget.”
Boyd has told anyone who has gotten in touch with him that the comment was made in the “heat of the moment” and that he regretted what he did. Kitson went on to tell the Sun that Boyd kept going after the video above was shot- including a moment when his son had his arm broken on a play later in the game.
There's talk of having all parents in the organization taking an online course about sportsmanship, but there's no way of policing it...
And the HQ also thinks this won't be the last time that something like this happens when parents continue to live through their kids since something went wrong in their own adolescent lives that prevented a future...
Blech...
