This team has demonstrated horrible behavior and unsportsmanlike conduct time and time again. It's the coaches and parents responsibility to address it and fix it. Those two or three players are the same ones that disrespect the game, other players and parents and it's well known who they are. I'd love to see an FCA parent reprimand their son immediately, but that never happens. It's well known that one of those same kids spit in the face of a defenseman during the Naptown tournament and yet he was right out there on the field again the next day. The kid who got the violent unreleasable penalty should be suspended or that parent should take him out of the game to get his priorities straightened out. I doubt that will happen. Lastly, nobody is wishing ill will for others, but you need to be responsible for your actions and there are consequences for consistently bad behavior.
For you to say that the entire team behaves that way is just not true. There is not a team anywhere that doesn't have a few bad apples. These kids are teenagers and they make mistakes. The hope is that the good kids influence the not so good kids to be better. You are correct in saying that consequences are in order and there's no one that would argue with that. But please don't say that the entire team, the entire coaching staff, and all of the parents are horrible and should be ashamed.
The same FCA parents that were screaming at our own player to stop hitting the LIE player also had a front row seat to see how the LIE FOGO was cheating on every single face off yet we didn't scream at the top of our lungs about it.
Sorry, Maryland team complaining about Maryland refs? Pleeease... What your team should have done is have one of your middies take out the LIE fogo. Oh wait, you did that to. Since these players are older shouldn't they be more mature then the younger players they play against? Setting the good example?
