Enjoy the Summer! We parents need the rest too...

Mi Hockey Kid is first and foremost for Michigan youth hockey parents (and all the other states that stumble upon us) representing all ages (4-18) and all levels (House, Travel and HS). So what do I know? About as much as you do. Sometimes more, sometimes less. I've had three boys play at all levels, some are done and some are still playing. But what I really wanted to do was give Michigan hockey parents a real outlet to discuss what matters. Everything from training to development, equipment and rink reviews and some shining examples of parents who are and are NOT role models for their kids. We want your comments and your insight. Just do us a favor and leave the arguments about which teams are “best” for those other sites. This is about you and your children. We hope you enjoy it. AND DON'T FORGET TO BOOKMARK US!
This is the time of year most parents just love in the world of youth hockey. We can see the end - the end of the season, the end of monthly payments, the end of disappointment, the end of coaching controversies, the end of early morning and late evening cold rinks. Some parents are sad about it, but honestly - most are ready to move on to baseball, lacrosse, soccer, etc. or nothing! And I'm ready to move on to a new set of parents.
I have to say, the more I hear about this tool and his laser pointer, the angrier I get. We had someone post on our Facebook page this week that it's h
appened recently in the Detroit area as well. What is wrong with you people? At least the Massachusetts laser pointer guy who helped his daugther win a big game through his idiocy, even admits he's a "jerk." And he's been charged. Read the update below from NBC Sports.
I'm honestly surprised this is the first time I've heard of this, but a Massachusetts Dad is in some trouble right now because he used a laser pointer to distract the eyes of an opponents' high school goalie. After the game, the Medway-Ashland girl's hockey team, which lost 3-1, protested but lost the appeal. I am calling this an "outrage" because, truth be told, I grew up in Medway (which lies in the shadow of Patriot-land in Foxborough) and I want justice!
However cooler heads (and less biased ones) determined it wasn't the Winthrop girls' fault that some whack job Dad pulled this stunt. He was removed by the Winthrop assistant superintendent of schools after he was "pointed" out. Bad Dad behavior is one thing. But Bad Dad behavior with props is a whole 'nother level.My favorite line is the one from the Winthrop superintendent who said "I don't know what he was thinking?" I don't believe "thinking" played a part in this.
