They suck. They dont even understand the sport and their on MY varsity team. Or even they dont try hard and slack off. When the rest of my team makes good passes the shank'em off.

Nothing. You concentrate on doing a good job yourself. I understand the fustration, I have been there many times.  Shake it off, let it go. \nRemember this if you ever become a coach.

I think the coaches were out of line.  They thought they were motivating him, when actually they were tearing him down.  Not all children/people respond well when they are being yelled at all, not very constructive.  Their actions could cause the opposite affect they desire.  Rather than motivate, they chase them away from the sport.  There is a fine line, especially with children playing sports.  You know your little guy and what makes him respond.  If I were you I would talk with all the coaches.  Explain that you didn't raise your child with verbal assaults.  Tell them that you are concerned that they will push him away from the sport rather than help.  Let them know that you don't expect for your child to babied but nurtured.  Suggest taking him out of the game the next time he messes up, rather than verbally embarassing him.  If your son really wants to play he will do the best he can to continue playing.  Another thought would be to get the opinions of other players parents, if they agree, try as a group to discuss this with the coaches.  The only reason I suggest this is if the coaches are jerks your son could pay for your chat with the coaches.  He could be teased and degraded as being a momma's boy when your not around.  Don't act offended of the situation but as a concerned parent who wants her child to excel in the sport.    Being a sports freak myself, I feel that these days people are going overboard when it comes to sports.

No more high school players!!! there are no fundamentals in the game today. All the artistry and beauty of the game is gone... Yeah people can jump out of the gym but the game is just plain... Ugly

I would think either the teams really are even and you should consider bringing a friend to even them up or maybe they just don't want you to play. You should be able to tell by body language or how you're being treated by the person you're asking. If they seem concerned about helping you get in the game, they want you to play; if not, find something else to do.

I was on my school's varsity team and got player of the year. You would think that I was cocky but I am completely the opposite.  I am always humble and polite. You would think that I was surrounded by girls but I was one of the shyest people at the school. I even wondered how some of the "nerds" were getting girls and I wasn't getting any.  Just remember that just because losers call us cocky bastards and we call losers losers doesn't mean that you guys are losers and were're cocky bastards. We're all the same. We just focused on two different things.

Well, WTF is right!!!\n\nIt sounds like you either have jackasses & dickheads for refs or they're just a little wet behind the ears.  I remember reffing my first season and I made soooooo many mistakes.  But from what you've said, it sounds like different refs made these calls.  I'm assuming you're playing college rules - you don't need to touch-up for icing.\n\nScenario one: I would say the first ref thought you or a teammate touched it.  If a ref doesn't clearly see the icing, usually he/she will look at the players and see what they're doing.  If you went skating after it, the one ref maybe thought it was touched by you.\n\nTwo: They two refs might have been talking (ESP, not verbally) about making the call (or non-call).  I've shot a look over to the other ref, as to say "um, I think that's ice.  Did you see a touch?  I'll let you blow the whistle... One of us better do something... OK, I will".  The last thing I would want to do is throw my arm up for a call, then realize I'm wrong and pull it back down.  The D thinks I'm calling icing, so he eases up.  The winger sees me pull it down and hussles to the puck.  Nothing pisses off EVERYBODY more than an indecisive ref.\n\nThree: This ref is an a$$hole.  I guess that one takes the cake.  I don't have an explanition for that.\n\nI hate to say this, but a lot of refs are like cops.  Most are pricks, you don't want to talk to them too much, we usually have this "holier than thou" attitude, and our breath smells really bad (OK, I made that last one up).  If you ask us about a bad call in the presents of another ref, we'll usually close ranks and say YOU need glasses.  But with that said, there are a few good ones out there.  Kinda like a cool cop - they're rare, but when you meet one it's a blast to be around them.  And usually they'll give you just a warning.\n\nRefs, in general, are at a premium.  So any Joe who goes to the clinics and takes the test can ref.  The ones who want to move up in the world (or just want a little extra $$$) will ref 12 games a week.  After 20 years, some make it to the NHL.  You are being reffed by noobies or the bottom of the barrel.  Sorry.\n\n\n****And I almost for got, you're on crack.  All refs are perfect.  You, as a player, have no concept of the difficulity of calling a game and are just a mere mortal.  However, I do have some crack here if YOU want it.  I never use it.  I just keep it around for emergencies.

well one reason is that they think that hockey is getting to rough there is to many injeries and they want to lower the risk of people getting hurt and they also want games to go faster without to many delays,  I know it sucks cause i lick the fighting too but what can u do...

first of all "hollisterdude57" is the biggest loudmouth idiot in these answers!! Everytime I see him he's answering some way to say the asker sucks or is a loser. \n\nNext I'll answer this resonable question. Mostly I answer questions with what I think and know. And like someone else says, I like to sometimes prove my facts by getting even more percise info from some websites or teams home pages. So I'd say yes and no. *RZ*

Hey Awesome Bill! I'm a huge Flyers fan and I'm so annoyed year in and year out how they try to sell us on "Golly, these boys are so big when they start hitting the other team, they'll wear 'em down" etc etc etc. They ALWAYS say that, and what happens? The other team skates past them. You can't hit what you can't catch! I think you've got it rather close to the mark - they've got that Broad Street Bullies mentality even though hockey has moved on long ago. \n\nPlus, they pay so much, it's like there's no heart. The Flyers don't just exit each season, they do the Wle E. Coyote thing - they fall down, get run over by a steamroller, then a 1000 pound weight drops on 'em. I'm from Philly - all we ask is GO DOWN SWINGING!!!! Instead, The Flyers just roll over and die - no heart. Didn't they lose their last game this year like 6-0???? ARGH!\n\nGood question. Thanks for the excuse to vent. \n\nHopefully the 'Canes win tonight for Brind'Amour.

I THINK THEY ARE IDIOTIC POO POO BRAINS!! sorry but you should see the freakin retards at my schools cheer team, believe me they aren't that bright, they think that if they can do a bunch of routines that'll get themselves noticed then get guys and all that or maybe they do it cause they like being thrown in the air or flashing panties.
