So that gives the parents a right to be insane towards kids?  Serious question.

Serious response- I was not at the game in question but sounds like a previous respondent was.

I would actually suggest taking about 3% of what is stated on here to be true- folks love anonymity.

You’ve basically acknowledged that this happened, why do I need to corroborate this? This isn’t a hearing. You provided enough info on this board about the teams involved someone could do their research if they wanted, but frankly I don’t think anyone cares remotely that much.

 

It is ridiculous that your justification for this ADULT fan behavior is that a CHILD was engaged with them in that same behavior. BE THE ADULT! If you went up to a 12 year old kid at the mall, in front of a cop, and started heckling him, you think the cop would be cool with it? But it’s OK in an ice rink? This is a thread about “crazy parents in PAHL”. Start one called “12 year old kids that you don’t like” if you want.

 

Maybe I’m in the minority and am the only one who thinks it isn’t OK, no matter what happens, as an adult, to engage with a child-player on the other team. If that’s the case, shame on me for not being “passionate” enough.

 

Again, like I already clarified, this is nothing against the team, kids or coaches. Great team. This is a thread about experiences with parents.  When I hear an adult yell at my daughter, while she’s on the ice, that she shouldn’t play hockey because she’s a girl, pardon me for holding a grudge against a fanbase like that. If that would have been the only thing that happened, I wouldn’t have commented. But given the other stuff, it obviously isn’t a one-time, or one-parent, issue.

Thank you Jkersman 01 for turning an honest parent question into an unprovoked swipe at a fellow PAHL organization. We have played both Aviators 12AA teams this season with no issues. I cannot say the same with our Mt Lebo games, one especially dirty player that I would surmise lead PAHL in PIM.
