The parents & coaching staff should be ashamed of their actions...

You were so angry you posted it twice.

What is the big deal? There must be video somewhere of of a Semenko Tim Hunter brawl that these kids got into. Surely this little video is not responsible for all the rhetoric.

[Wada]

Aw! It's simply a case of "monkey see, monkey do".

Duplicate thread deleted.

That must be in a different video but what there showing there is certainly not a "brawl" you see the kids skating away with each other to watch the idiot adults that probably started "throwing actual blows" because the other parents kid plays to rough.

i agree, suspend the coaches for a couple of games.. and prevent the parents who were fighting from coming back.

Those who think that this is ho hum, 'real life' stuff, are unfortunately, missing the point.

Guys, we're talking of 8 year olds here! Remember back to the time when you were 8?

I don't know about you, but getting invloved in a free-for-all was never on my mind. I never saw it!
It wasn't a part of my reality and, I believe, that it shouldn't be a part of any 8 year olds reality!

Imagine one of those kids in the scrum ended up getting really injured or worse.

The most important role of a coach is to teach! And the only way to really teach is to teach by example. Suspending the coaches doesn't alter the fact that something like this should never have happened in the first place.

I have a sneaking suspicion that this story (if the media runs with it) can spell the end of fighting in the NHL as we know it today. Maybe not a total ban, but a severe restructuring of the penalties resulting from a fight.

I love a good NHL fight, in the context of true competition but this has reached an unprecendented level.

Children are now doing it!

Considering this happened at the end of the game, did the coaches actually send their players out or did they just leave the brench cause the buzzer went. This wasn't a brawl, but this was.
