I can understand the frustration, but that kid will regret it. Not because it will affect his hockey future (maybe it will), but because of the feeling he will have.
I was once one of 7 guys that showed up for a game on a friday night. Everyone had excuses for not being there, most of which I knew were BS as there was a party that night a bunch elected to go to. We were down 6-0 after 2 periods and I did the same thing. We walked into the dressing room and I ripped off my gear and left. As soon as I got home and settled down I felt like crap. Because it wasn't the guys that weren't there I quit on. It was the other 6 guys that showed up. I apologized to the boys that were there and the coaches reluctantly took my letter from me, but I understood it. Just a s*** feeling that I don't recommend.
