Congratulations to Mt Lebo on their championship, very good game against SHAHA, two great teams! But let’s be honest why didn’t they have the best 4 teams there, it’s laughable

I’ve been to multiple youth sport games over the years and it’s definitely amplified in hockey more so than other sports. You have isolated incidents in other sports, like soccer, baseball, football but those games largely come and go without much fuss. When was the last time you watched a youth hockey game, in full, and didn’t hear someone crying in the stands? I think hockey parents feel safer because there’s multiple layers of separation between an ice hockey referee and a parent. Refs are on skates, on a sheet of ice, surrounded by a bowl of boards. It’s not as intimidating to the average human to scream insults at another human being when sub-consciously they know that the other human poses little to no threat. Also, western PA hockey parents are some of the worst I’ve seen. A large portion of it is, in my opinion, the lack of parents past participation in the sport. They simply do not understand or can not accept that what goes on on the ice is run of the mill, ordinary shit that’s part of a collision sport. This does not happen in traditional hockey markets AS MUCH, where kids are being raised by people who played the game. WHERE SAID PARENTS are desensitized and much more tolerant having been in the same position their kids are in. Again, I fee for the man and women who have to ref these games while listening to these turds.
