I already saw this posted on the USCHO boards.  It's frickin' ridiculous, I tell ya.  The kid (and the father) should just learn to suck it up.

[Q]."I taught him since he learned to skate at three years old that hard work brings rewards. But that didn't happen."[/Q]
How about teaching your son something character building like hard work is it's it's own reward and that you don't always have to win. Ya win some, ya lose some - fair or not, deal with it.

But I guess real character is too much to ask of modern society  ::help:: .

I think it's better if he never ever plays again. Once money becomes involved, he will only get more obnoxious.
