Once he managed to anger the opposing team so much that we ended up running to the car and squealing tires to get out of there with the entire team chasing us with hockey sticks. At the time we thought it was funny but looking back it's probably good they didn't catch up to us.. or him at least.
Hmmm...thats to bad...
Perhaps it's propaganda...but I swear that only happens in American Hockey leagues.

Was it an NHL game or rec league? In all my years of watching hockey games...I've only seen a few parents occassionally flip out on referee's while walking on the ice like a clucking chicken. All the fights were executed by the players.
Of course, I'm kidding about American hockey having violent attendee's. Unfortunately this seems to happen in every sport, especially Soccer and/or Rugby. I personally think it's silly. Sports are all about winning, if you can't stand your team loosing, stay home. As a player or a parent or a fan, you should expect rivals to hex and boo your team every chance they get, thats what makes the game exciting.
Regardless of success or failure, it's in everyone's best interest to goto the same bar post-game and celebrate both victory and loss.
I hate when people go bonkers...that is not in the spirit of good sportsmenship.
