You’ve handled this situation with a lot of grace. Thank you for coming on this forum to clarify the situation.     Who do you blame for this being allowed to continue so long during the game?

I doubt I would have your composure if I was in your situation.   Good luck to you and your goalie.  

 

 

I wasn't at the game. I'm not really sure where the blame should lie,maybe not in one place, but a learning opportunity for all, but the fact that it is being addressed and hopefully NEVER should happen to any player gives me hope. I am very blessed that our daughter gets her tough skin from her dad.

All this outrage and news articles, and absolutely nothing mentioned that Armstrong was able to take their entire team and play last night and beat Butler.  Not a single player, coach, administrator was punished, it's like nothing happened for them.  You watch the league delay this until the outrage dies down and it'll just fade away.

It wasn't the team that made the comments. The boys on that team are ALL friends of hers and have played with her on multiple occasions. There should be no punishment for the team in both mine and the goalies opinion. Actually a player that got hurt wanted to come back to.defend her, and I feel like that speaks volumes.

I think you are going to see some great support for that 16 year old girl in the hockey community.  She has been playing goalie for mixed teams since she was 9 years old and a lot of kids have played with her and respect her.  Hopefully we will all learn a lesson from this and stop things like this from happening before they get to this level in the future.  We are all responsible!

My daughter was the goalie. She has been on skates since she could walk. Has been playing hockey for as long as I can remember! Eats, sleeps and breathes  hockey. No amount of harassment will keep her from playing. She has handled this way better than I have. 

I am the mom of the mars goalie. I unfortunately  was not at the game on Thursday, although  I am glad considering the events that took place. She is extremely resilient and is doing fine. She refused to say she was upset. She said all the players on the Armstrong team are friends of hers and were very upset by this. We have gotten a phone call from both the mars  and Armstrong administration.  Armstrong  was very apologetic.
