Hockey running your life too?
Just back from HH. Yes, this late
Very interesting game. In the first 5 minutes a major called for a hit from behind that was shakey but in Bantams gets called. After that~ why blow the whistle. Elbows up, gloves in the face, etc. slashes to the helmet... Toward the end of the 1st L'il got absolutely blown up by a kid twice his size- who hit him from behind. The entire rink went wild because there was no call. The other team cross checked one of our guys in the head as he went by the bench in between periods. I decided that I was absolutely right to remember why I hated when the kids played this town.
The rest was no better. At one point one of our kids got slashed in the helmet and rode their kid to the boards. Their kid started punching, our kid punched back. Brawl happens. Whistle blew- finally a penalty, you think....nope,
off sides.
In the third Lil got cross checked in the back of the head, the kid finally got called. Lil (cherub that he is) said 'haha' as the kid went by and the kid roundhoused him. double minor. Not 3 minutes later our G makes a save, the kid keeps coming after the whistle and slashes our goalie. Goalie sticks are bigger than those little ones. He used it and gave it right back. The kid leaps on him, swinging. Another kid swings at Lil as he comes in to protect the goalie (who is 2 feet taller than he is, what was he thinking?) That kid gets gets clubbed by the goalie who has now shoved the first slasher right under him and is on top of him, kneeling as he takes on the next guy. The ref gives a major to the instigator. Kid starts dropping the F-bomb at the ref, going off. The ref heaved him. He let out this torrent of foul language. F this, F you, on and on. Not one word from their bench about knock it off. The coach chucks the locker room key on the ice. Kid bats it down the ice. A few more minutes and finally he is finished being ejected. These kids are 13.
One of the few times I
really didn't want my kid on the ice because I was scared he was going to get hurt. The other team was big, heavy and filthy dirty playing- sticks like axes, fists, hitting from behind from across the rink. Our kids were not playing clean by the end of the game but nothing like the stuff they were taking. I thought someone was going to end up really hurt and carted out. Even Mr, who
never says anything and never says the refs suck said some stuff.
After the game the F-bomb kid came out of the locker-room area and all their parents were joking about what he did with him
Like wow.
After tonight what ever happens will be so tame no one will care.
