Weston id show for Hit littu mil lost Last Atom tournament besides running on time thereby proving that such an event can be run on time was also interesting social in itself It pointed out an important difference between kids and thierparents Kids toplaysomc hockey and have a bang up good time Parents on the other hand Fortunately Acton parents seem lo be a little less vehement in their opinions than those in some other towns in the atom tourney one iralt hockey mom punched Milton coach Kent in the stomach the game Glanbrook parents ordered up copies of last weeks paper with the tourney story Whin I went down to see the coach after the game they wire busy totalling up the number they would need Well then are parents for each kid and grandparents uncles and etc II looks sort of like the moms are more interested in results than the kids Herb whose son played on the major aloms team said that after their 10 loss the kids were home playing away twintoday we will tomorrow I wish sometimes that parents could be that grown up about the game Hockey tournaments are fun and its great lo win a trophy but it just as great for the kids to get out on the ice and play which is what they want anyway Relax mom and let them play Old hockey moms don t die and they don I fade away either They just keep hanging on I found some of them during the relent Station Press series and they were still going strong I have no doubt that if I sal close enough to the ice during the I next home game I would hear Sittlcr s mom in the stands shouting Skate Don t you know how Two hands on the stick I hear where Toronto leagues arc running clinics for hockey parents and installing parents penalty boxes for those who become too boisterous during Ihe game only problem is getting the parents into the box I suppose Of all hockey players the one 1 have to admire most is the goalie Not only is the job very dangerous it can also be in credibly boring In the ideal game from a coach s or parent s point of view the goalie would have nothing to do since his team would keep the puck out of his end all game leaving him free to skate in circles around the net until he got dizzy When play does come inlo the home team end the goalie has to do some very unusual things none of which you would catch mi doing In the event of a three on one break I would take all manner of evasive action and I think most people would agree A slap shot from a curved hockey stick can come at you faster than a pitched ball and with a wicked wobble too And the goalie knows that the shot is intended for hisneck notthenet would be obviously Instead the has to stand here and intentionally try lo put small vulnerable pieces of his body in front of the onrushingpuck And hi is stored upon there will be some people who figure it his fault and he is the one who blew the game for the team or worse yet for her sons team The poor goalie fating the opposing teams finest efforts lo remove his neck from his body alt game might get punched in thestomach after the game by some irate hockey mom Iwouldn I do it for the world Mike Km and Cope Smith wire the donors of the trophies in last wnkind s
