Hockey president condemns parents' behaviour after Sault tournament
100This is unacceptable behaviour and yet it continues. If the consequences of this abhorrent behaviour were enforced it would discontinue. If a parent was aware that they would face a ban from the arena they may think twice and it would not continue. As a previous hockey parent I know it can get heated, however you also know that you are the adult and role model. Shame on you who ever threatened that official.

95People who yell at referees at youth sports events are emotionally still toddlers and living out their dreams through their kids. It's pathetic. There should be zero tolerance. When our son played local youth football, parents had to sign an agreement that the first time they yelled at a player, coach, or anyone really, they would be banned permanently.

10I was a spectator at multiple arenas this weekend and watched some great hockey. I am not condoning any of the behavior around any of the actions. To have only 2 referees on the ice was the reason these things got out of hand. 2 referees were not enough to keep up with the play and made either wrong calls or non-calls because they couldn't keep up. Every game I observed at multiple arenas. Some of these teams came from 8 hours away and spent a lot of $$$ to be here. So, I can understand the parents' frustrations. I am not condoning the outbursts at all. Tell me why were there only 2 refs on the ice? Imagine you shelled out over $1500/family to travel, lodge, eat and cover the cost of the tournament and watch your team get duped out of a win because of lack of control? It sets the tone for exactly what happened at every arena. It's not the refs at all it's not their fault either, pay for the 3rd or 4th ref instead of 3 DJs it was the ORGANIZER'S fault. He's responsible for it.

Hydrant buried in snow delayed Sault firefighters
87They really need to look at the people that have to do community service for their crimes and round them up and clean out the hydrants. No need to hire and pay anyone with our tax dollars

78Oh that's really awful that the PUC crews are having a difficult time keeping up. That's really upsetting. I have an idea, hire more people to clean them up. PUC absolutely has the money for it.

82Make as many excuses (as terrible as those excuses are) as you want, it is nobody's fault except the immature and low-character parents who don't know how to behave themselves. Period.

73Maybe it's time to do like other places and drop your kid off and go wait outside. I think it was North Bay was like that a couple times in the past.

71why wasn't police contacted about the death threat ....... put them in their place and show them it is unacceptable ! Maybe then, they'll get the big picture . when i was a convenor for sault youth soccer I kicked parents off the field as well as stopped games and rescheduled them/ I wasn't allowing the refs or myself be treated that way, I just shut it down .............. all because of the PARENTS. THis is not the behaviour you want your kids to follow.

25Kit would be nice if things could get back to somewhat normal. Thats not going to happen until people realize Carney is living in a fantasy world thinking his globalist agenda is helping. We have the worst gdp per capita in the g7. The auto industry will be decimated and many more industries, its been happening for a year. So much for building at speeds like u have never seen before ! Hes right ! I havent seen anything but all talk nothing else !
