You ever been to a Hockey game Chuck?

Holy **** Chuckchuck, are you that ignorant or obtuse to compare this incident to what Graham James did?

[chuckChuck]

Not comparing the two, just pointing out that many young players won't and can't stand up to abusive coaches because it can be career ending!

Listen to what Sheldon Kennedy says about this issue.

Watched my son play house league for several years and watch a few small town minor league games a year.

The rink is a great place to hang out and visit. Minor hockey in my experience seemed very well run with mostly great volunteer coaches.

Both this situation and Don Cherrys last week were both way overblown and people need to chill out a bit.

I'm not a big hockey fan myself and part of the reason is this: Hockey is all about pushing boundaries until you've gone one step too far, and then backing off a bit. The players, coaches and guys like Cherry have all made careers of doing exactly that. You see it at every game that's the whole concept of a penalty, let see what you can do and hope you dont get caught. Wish it were more about skill.

And as a fair skinned white prairie boy, I've been called a "cracker" by a big black fellow I never even had any interaction with prior to that. The world just needs to not be so sensitive.

So the guy has a law firm representing him is he really going to sue somebody? If money is the motive for this which is truly obvious an incapeable crybaby trying to get back at people because he wasn’t good enough now wants money because some one hurt his feelings. Not condoning what the coach said or did but holy crap the rules and expectations were different back
Then compared to now. All
Those on the bandwagon better be careful because I know where I hung around everybody had a slang word about everybody some meant it deeply some said it just because the group they were in used it regularly. If this sets a precendent I m gonna be lining up for some money too because my nationality was put down by many people of many occupations but then again my group is gonna be charged also so better file something so we re all
