Youth Hockey parent insults players size and officiating during game

This is the kind of stuff that must stop at youth hockey games.  It is utterly ridiculous for a parent of a player on another team to be insulting opponents.  They’re 15-year-old kids, they’re not in the NHL.  To yell at referees saying they’re only calling it a penalty because “he’s a midget” is utterly ridiculous.  And then when the player’s dad comes over to get him to stop insulting his son, the man goes off even more, saying “Don’t touch me, or I’ll cave your f*cking glasses in,” all while his infant child is in his arms.

According to the man that was filming this, this isn’t the first incident with this man.  The youth hockey association in Selkirk, Manitoba, where this happened should ban this parent from rinks.  There is no reason for this stuff to be happening, it’s just a game.
