OSG High: Disgusting Junior Hockey Display Leads Parents To Go Public

((HT: Prep Rally/Rohrbach))

Nick Major is a 16-year-old hockey player who was playing on the winning side of a 7-2 game five months ago. On a transitional break, Major snowed the goalie at the close of the play when the goalie made a save.

One of Major's opponents decided to cave his face in after the whistle as Major did not fight back. But he was given a two-game suspension for fighting and his opponent got four games...

Nick Major's parents are wondering where the justice system is in all of this since no criminal charges have been filed.

Here's Peter Mansbridge...
The HQ always wanted to say that...
((HT: CBC News))
The HQ is aware that hockey has its own set of rules and guidelines on the ice- they call it "the code." But the code doesn't quite answer for a snowing- except for the usual amount of pushing and shoving after the whistle.

What happened here is out of control and out of line.

The HQ can't blame Nick Major's parents for wanting out of the sport if the lines of the code are being blurred- even by police and authority figures...

OSG High: Idiot Hockey Dad May Get Punished After All...

((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...

Momma Don't Like No Fighting On The Ice...

((HT: The Awesome Boston))

First, watch toward the end...


Now, the question is: What was the best part...??? The mom or the refs just standing by not doing anything until the mom shows up...???

And what do you think the conversation was on the way home in that car...???
