His mom taped a conversation, it can be found in the article, don't know how to embed it here.
Personally, I think it's an idiotic rule. In the video he says he's trying to set an example but what kind of example is he setting? That long hair kids are hippies?
I grew up playing hockey and at certain ages and skill level things become about the team more than you. We had to wear team jackets or suits to games.

It matters just for the level of ridicule it should elicit.
These guys are such losers in life. I think they seriously believe that these 'standards' actually matter and don't make them an object of ridicule to the kids they think respect them (of which they should not).

Can you take off your team suit or jacket when you go home?
Sounds like my Grandfather, he'd always complain when pro ball players had long hair or weren't clean cut. Didn't know they still made relics like that.
I get it, its a stupid rule, but the thing that I'm getting tired of is when every person doesn't get their way, they record it and throw it up on social media so 8 million people can go after someone and basically cyber attack them.
Its lame and its stupid, fight your own fricken battles.

Think of it like a dress code. Many jobs have policies against beards, visible tattoos, etc.
If these kids are high-level, represent the team, and are role models wherever they go around town, then I don't have an issue with this.
If this is just some rec team that the kid signed up to play on then I agree who cares about his hair.

What have you contibuted? You have compared kids playing a sport they have to pay to play, to adults/kids holding down a job.
Yeah really knocking it out of the park.
You know something, it is guys like you that, IMO, ruin sports for kids. Kids Sport is about......................KIDS. If the kids has long hair it makes no difference to he ability to play the sport, nor (I suspect) to his team mates, as long as he gives it best. This holds true whether it is house league or rep teams.
