My son was yelled at by the fans in the stands and the opposing teams coaches. And even when he was leaving the dressing room parents and coaches were yelling at him and one coach even pushed him. My son did not get kicked out of any games, he did not get into any fights on the ice, and did not get any malicious penalties either. Of course he isn't innocent in all this, he talked back to the coaches on the ice.
Another one of his teammates was given the finger by an opposing teams parents after he was kicked out of the game for a hit from behind.
It was deplorable behaviour by the fans and coaches...

Happens here all the time regardless of the respect in sport course parents/coaches take.
Parents almost need their own official in the crowd. Three strikes and your done for the season. Repeat offenders should get banned/fined for this behaviour as it’s getting worse and worse.
When I was coaching we had a problem parent who would try to get into the dressing room between periods to give us coaches s*** for not double shifting Johnnyboy. Got to the point the door was locked and another parent who was a RCMP member had to guard the door. It’s sad but it’s reality and it’s happening everywhere.
