I would like to say that I have never been in Newmarket, Ontario (though I have been to New Market, Minnesota). I don't have a kid playing midget hockey and I didn't punch no referees. <br><br>I'm innocent. Someone else has stolen my identity. <p></p><i></i>

This is like the 3rd time hockeydad. I think you need counseling or something... <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START 8) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... lasses.gif ALT="8)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p>Elk River AA State Champions- 2001 Boys & 2004 Girls</p><i></i>

This has been going on for years. He punched out some other Dad a couple years ago on the East coast and the guy dies. Then he abuses his kid in Canada to the point that the kid breaks down and eventually takes out a restraining order against him. Last season he died himself while trying to protect his other son from heckling fans, and now this. <br>This is one busy guy. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :rollin --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/roll.gif ALT=":rollin"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

Not only that, but I have my own song...<br><br><br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://webpages.charter.net/hockeydad2/ ... >hockeydad song</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><br><br><br><br>*disclaimer...I am not the hockeydad from <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.hockeydad.net">www.hockeydad.net</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> which is where I found this song. I only recently came across this website. Judging by the phone number, the guy must be from the northern suburbs of Minnesota. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p074.ezboard.com/bmnhs.showUserP ... ckeydad</A> at: 3/30/05 12:19 am<br></i>

I like the "Hockey Dad" song,that kills me, "my son's a future star and I smell money" the best is though, "all "I" want to do is drive the zamboni" yes... Slappy are you out there ? the "kids" all went to bed. <p></p><i></i>

I hear that next year the refs are going to be forced to carry pepper spray, any truth to this?? <p></p><i></i>

[v master flex]

Being a ref myself the notion of us carrying pepper spray has never been brought up in any of the meetings i have attended there is extreme thought going into trying to figure out what to do to make sure this kind of stuff doesnt happen anymore though. <p></p><i></i>

[slapshotbg]

haha sorry i was kidding <p></p><i></i>
