Hockey Drama

Those two words  Hockey Drama.   I can say those words to my dad and he gets all excited, waiting to hear what dip shit did what.

There is NEVER a shortage of hockey drama.  Why?   Because we hockey parents pay too damn much money for this sport and feel we should have a say in what happens with the team.   This is my theory anyway.   I try very hard not to get involved as I have the wonderful disease called "you didn't stick your foot in your mouth fast enough".   I open my mouth and it just SPILLS out.   I call it verbal diarrhea.

I find it so interesting that you can take 1 or 2 parents and get them all excited, just by mentioning one little thing the coach said or did.   Just mentioning this can create a whole monster into itself and depending on the supposed "infraction"  e-mails roll out and phones start ringing.   Now, I am not saying is a bad thing, necessarily, I have never had kids in another sport...maybe this happens in other sports too?    I guess I can't blame anyone, hockey is a pretty physical and passionate sport.  The parents are just acting this out off the ice.  If you have been around hockey parents.. there are a few types.
1.  The instigators- these are the people who get things started.
2.  The vehicles-  these are the people who can take what the instigators started and run with it.
3.  The exaggerators-  the people who "heard" things were worse than they really are and propagate this  rumor.
4.  Switzerland- Those parents who hear nothing, say nothing and somehow stay uninvolved.
5.  The former athletes-  these are the people who think because they played in high school that they know everything and aren't afraid to tell people what they should be doing.

Please tell me.....how accurate did I paint this picture?

 Maybe we should assign parents to the penalty box.  5 minute major for intent to start hockey drama.


I really have never heard another hockey parent say those words HOCKEY DRAMA....... I wonder if they use them too?
