“The hockey dad, on the other hand, berates referees, abuses coaches, and drinks in the parking lot during intermissions. He knows where the officials’ exit is from every arena, as well as the slander laws in six states and four provinces. He is willing to berate his child to the point of tears, and to use motivational techniques he learned from old ‘NFL Films’ episodes involving Vince Lombardi. He sacrifices dignity and common sense, all in the name of living out his own failed athletic dreams through his child.

“He is enforcer, agent, bodyguard, sycophant, and budding coach - and that is just for starters.

“He is also facing three to five upstate.”
