No dog in this argument but, Stop crying already, every kid on that team is a starter. My son wanted to see 5-10 min of the game as we walked to his next game. We saw the play in dispute the defenseman made a clear ball was out of his stick the middie was well on his way down field and the other team player took a full swing to the back of a defenseless player with his back to him totally by surprise. Intentional or not as a parent your crazy if you think you wouldn't react the same way. It would scare anyone of us at that moment. Just my thoughts.
