The most ridiculous thing I have experienced at a hockey game was in midget a few years ago. We were skating off the ice at Frank McCool arena and one of the moms from the other team came over and told one of the kids on my team to "stop playing with your stick between your legs" to which he replied something like "#### off lady" and the woman's husband came over and lost his ####, tore the kids cage off and starting feeding him punches.

Mine turn for a Reserve hockey story! I grew up in Northern Sask and we used to make trips out to the rez four times a year and it was terrifying. The drive out there was quiet and nervous - the roads were usually so bad we didn't even know if we'd make it to the game. When we did get there the dressing room was destroyed - some of us would get dressed on the floor, the toilet would be overflown with crap and toilet paper - disgusting. Once the game got started the entire reserve would be there and the intensity was scary for a kid anywhere from 8-14.
Being a goalie I remember about four kids who had climbed the ladder to be the 'goal judge' and spent two periods spitting on me and telling me to 'lick my love pump' (not sure why that phrase stands out).
The ref would wear a cowboy hat and give out penalties for such things as 'being a hero' - a kid dropped his toque on the ice once and jumped down to grab it, the ref punched him in the chops as he climbed back over the board.
During my senior hockey years after a mini line brawl on the ice the crowd ripped up part of the bleachers and threw the wood and some pieces of cinder block onto the ice - one guy even jumped onto the ice to fight someone wearing cowboy boots.
It's really surreal looking back now and some of my most cherished hockey memories.
Seriously? What's your deal with........everything. It seems no matter what the topic, you have a unique ability to throw out the most ignorant comment possible.
..and don't even try and pretend it's the same as these guys telling stories about playing against reserve teams, because I played against reserve teams and I know how crazy it could be. But just a generic "native scum" is blatantly racist and has no place on this forum, along with some other things you have said in the past.
Just out of curiosity, are you a teenager?

I remember my first time going to play on the reserve. Wasn't as a youngster, I was early twenties, my team played in the Calgary Industrial Summer league or something. I think it was a tournament. When we played the host team, I remember in the locker room beforehand all the other players sharing horror stories.
Eg "Our whole team got beat up after the game, and that was by fans outside" excetera.
Didn't build the confidence.
We lost 3-1, I scored our only goal and got laid out about 5 seconds after scoring. The only real incident on ice was a scuffle my line was involved with. Typical on ice pushing glove punches, and then my centre said,
"F you Hiawatha"
That wasn't recieved well.
The players were very nice after the game, seemed like great guys after. Is it because they won? Maybe. Our team (all white guys) had some real jerks on it, and I know what some other teams thought of us.
Anyway, the only crazy thing was these ladies who lined up behind our bench. They yelled all sorts of stuff, and kept trying to reach over and hit us. I dont think any of us sat on the bench the whole game because if you sat down they could reach you. We leaned forward over the boards.
I think to a man, we were all content with losing that game.

That was the first post I have ever reported.

I don't think there's any reason to push a child in any direction. If they want to play 12 months of hockey then sign them up (disregarding costs), if they want to spend their summer playing tennis then sign them up for that.
Not true. Hockey canada IIRC had a study a few years back that concluded that baseball was a very good supplemental sport for developing skills that crossed over in regards to hand eye co-ordination.
Iginla is a great example actually as he was probably a better baseball player than hockey player in his youth in St Albert...widely considered among the best to play youth bball in that city over the years.

Yeah I can see that, I was more comparing it to lacrosse which seems to develop a host of skills applicable to hockey. With baseball you have one area that crosses over, but beyond that I can't see much cross over.
Guys like Iginla really aren't great examples as they would be great no matter what sport they pursued. People with that level of athletic talent really just need the opportunities and coaching to achieve excellence.
No, half the team, the coaches, the refs, and a bunch of parents were in there trying to sort things out in various ways. Think the kid may have ended up pressing charges, not sure though.
