When the parents ship has sailed at being a pro-anything they take to living through their child/children
Making their child shine and be exceptional to prove their genes are special, or whatever. It's still a vanity project of sorts that is ultimately about them
That's my theory at least on over zealous hockey dads. I think it's pretty toxic and probably the child's feelings are not taken into consideration, which is harmful to them.
I don't really get the ex-nhler coaches flying off the handle at teen refs. You think those guys would be above that and know better. Maybe haven't eased off their competitive spirit from the pro days?
Don't bust an artery gents, it's still just a game..
