I would not be surprised if it’s genuine, but learned behaviour
His dad, based on appearance alone, gives 80s movie ###### vibes. I can picture him shouting at young Connor, until his level of skill achieved was acceptable. Which it never was.
I am kind of kidding. But have also seen enough hockey parents that are too intense and their kids are really not that good and there’s nothing at stake
I kind of feel sad for that kid.
But then again he’s making 12 million bucks a year and is pretty fast now.
Suppose his dad yelling at him gave him skills up there with the best in the world, surely he can just yell at his teammates and they too will improve
