Seems like you really have an ax to grind against Wave 1.
I have an axe to grind against any team that plays like a bunch of dirty thugs trying to hurt other kids instead of focusing on playing the game.
I did not see this game so, I can not speak to that game. I do not know if you were there ether but, it sounds like you where since you think they played like thugs. There are lots of reasons a goalie can loose his shit, happens to the best of them... That could be any team on on any given game. Depends on which colored glasses you are wearing. The refereeing in youth hockey is extremely inconsistent and a lot of things are missed or unfairly called.
That said, I do think it is bad form to run up a 17-2 score because the other team does not have a goalie regardless of the reason the goalie is not on the ice.
SkatingDad...it has been addressed a few times by different people from different teams the same way. "Wave1 play dirty and the Coach has no control of their team" This is the first time that I hear the goalie lost his cool but the players are a whole different story.
If you are a Wave1 parent you should really be looking at the team and questioning the type of coaching your kid is getting. There is no development when you are just gooning it up.
Stay Classy folks!
I am not a Wave 1 parent.
If your kid is on the smaller side and is getting crushed by a kid then, you are going to yell goon, others would call it physical play. Physical play for Bantams is very subjective and every team has a hot head.
SkatingDad, I guess you haven't seen Wave 1 play yet, so forgive those of us who have for taking your comments on the topic with a truckload of salt. It has nothing to do with size -- in fact, Wave 1 are not even a particularly big team, which is one reason why their chicken$#&^ will come home to roost.
I have seem them play and there are some tall kids.
These are kids we are talking about! The coaches and parents should be ashamed of themselves for cheering for running up a 17-2 score with an empty next. You included! They are kids.
BTW, I prefer Sea Salt and Bantam Chickens.
Sorry Skating Dad, you must have me mistaken for some other tool. I wasn't there, let alone cheering, so I have nothing to be "ashamed" of. Nor did I advocate cheering while running up the score. Please read twice, and then take a breath before hitting the "post" button, next time you have an urge to reply to me.
