Last night I witnessed the Woodbury A Bantam coaches Throw there hats on the ice when a player got a hat trick. Am I right or wrong for thinking this was not a good sportsmanshion act.. Very very Unethical.. What other things have you seen?

Lets be honest....It's Woodbury...would you expect anything less?

Was it a 10-1 whomping and the hatrick goal was the 10th goal or was it a 3-2 game and the hatrick goal was in the final seconds of the game?

If you want to get literal about the rule book:

(b) A bench minor penalty shall be assessed to any team who’s
players or team officials commit the following actions while
on the player’s bench:
(1) Using obscene, profane or abusive language to any
person.
(2) Using the name of any official in a loud or abusive
manner.
(3) Throwing any object onto the playing area during the
progress of the game or during a stoppage of play.
(4) Banging the boards with a stick or other object at
anytime.
(5) Using threatening or abusive language or gestures
directed at an opponent.

We all get caught up in the game. Should the coaches throw their hats. No. But they are cheering for kids. It's not a big deal. Let it slide.

They played River Heights and score I believe was 9-1

The refs grined and did nothing about. It really doesn't matter what the score was. Made Woodbury look really bad!!!!!!

There's one really good way to make sure nobody throws a hat on the ice, don't let the other team put up 9 goals against you. Nice moniker, by the way.

It doesn't matter about the goals. This team would beat this team 100/100 times. Just have some class.. Obviously you don't!

What's the real story? What the Ref's do? Did they give his hat back or put it in the box? Who's FEELINGS got hurt?

If this really happened.....NICE class act Woodbury Coaches!!!! I hope a team shows you up like that in the near future. Try that against a team that has more than 7 wins on the year, nothing against you River Heights. I think that is bush league if it really happened.

They would do that. I hope they went to Applebee's

You can't seriously be defending this by saying "don't let the other team put up nine goals against you." Obviously you are as classless as the Woodbury coaches.

Depends, what if it was this kid's very first hat trick EVER in his whole career. IF that was the case then I could understand the coaches getting caught up in a moment helping a kid celebrate something special that he'd never achieved at any level up til then. But other than that, coaches really should try and have a demeanor on the bench that is such that they celebrate team accomplishment in a proper way and so as not to show up the other team.

Not too classy to celebrate a hat trick with a score like that. Let the kid celebrate a bit, but coaches...come on.

A close game; its still kind of obnoxious, but not as bad, IMO.

I was also at the game, and am not a River Heights parent or Woodbury hater by trade. That said, the goal made the score 6-0, middle of 2nd period. Game was over for all practical purposes. Great kid who scored the goal, and his and the players' reaction was not over the top. Coaches on the other hand should be embarrassed - they looked like idiots. Not surprising for this group, and in particular the head coach...unfortunate.

Happened in a game this past weekend against us. Chisago Lakes coach did the same thing

These coaches must be nutjobs. Teach the kids to act like you expect to score. This would be like a coach grabing the football and spiking it. Weird.

Well it sounds like Woodbury does a great job of getting quality coaches between the Classy Bantam A coaches and the Peewee A coach getting into trouble for have one to many drinks before a game. Coaches need to remember you are to set a good example.

Maybe this is the first time someone on the team had a hat trick.

Found it ironic that the player celebrated the most after a score on a team is typically a player scored the fewest goals. If he only gets 3-4 chances to celebrate in a whole winter season, cannot blame him!

Same thing here?

Is Woodbury as loathed as this thread might lead one to believe? Just curious...

In general YES.

Who let you decide for everyone?

Obviously something happened that no one knows the real story behind, just assumptions.

Regardless of the story...coaches shouldn't throw their hats on to the ice

True. I do agree with that

When did I speak for everyone.
So why don't they tell us what happened.
If they made a bad chioce, just stand up and say it.
So we can't make any bad assumptions.
