From the looks of the scores she may be right. Being a goalie is the toughest spot out there and its a very emotional postilion. No one wants to play it but its the first place you look at when you lose. But it usually is not the goalies fault if they do everything they are supposed to be doing. My son is a goalie on a different team. Our defense is not very good no one slides. We constantly have middies coming straight down the lane and shoot point blank. The goalie can only do so much at that point.


All those things aside, that type of behavior from a parent is inexcusable. It comes from the top. If kids see their parents behave like that, then they'll start to treat their teammates like that and it's an endless cycle of entitled kids who can't be coached and no one wants to be around.
