I have never heard a parent yell at their kid like Sidney Crosby's dad.

Even at the memorial cup you could just hear it from him. He would sit second level rail on the red and you could hear him over everybody.

Funny how you never hear those stories about his early hockey days. I guess they dont want parents to think that as a justification for their actions or as a role model.
