Its name calling...the kid needs to get over it. Reality is that there are ignorant people on this planet and nobody can control how they think or what they say.Guest wrote: ↑Sat Oct 08, 2022 4:14 pm https://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/hockey ... -1.6609450

My kid and plenty of his teammates and friends of various ethnicities heard racial chirps throughout their entire minor hockey experience. These kids laughed at the small minded attitudes and carried on.
None are traumatized and they have grown into a well grounded group of young people who are all doing very well in life. TBH I'd have no problem if my kid responded with a 5 min slash on the other kids wrist...guaranteed that kid will re-consider what he says next time they meet. IMO - blaming a racial chirp for mental anguish that caused a kid to have a bad game is nothing more than excuse.
Its wrong, I don't condone it, I think people with racists attitudes are scum...but there is no way in hell I'll ever let racist vocabulary of an idiot ruin my day or be a distraction to whatever it is I'd rather be doing.

And you're scum if you think it's just name calling.
Literally any other word could have been used.

Exactly...a "word" from a person who meaningless to the majority of the world in the grand scheme of life. GUARANTEED his parents are already silently disappointed and embarrassed about his underachieving.Guest wrote: ↑Sun Oct 09, 2022 2:15 am And you're scum if you think it's just name calling.

If a "word" from an ignorant 15 year old is enough to derail you, then you're the one empowering him....clearly he's got your panties in a knot and he never said anything to you.

Expecting a ref to eject and suspend a player based on tears is....well, I have no words for this.Guest wrote: ↑Sat Oct 08, 2022 4:14 pm https://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/hockey ... -1.6609450

Once a ref calls a penalty when a player is crying, every team will keep a bag of onions on the bench.
"We said to the referee that it would be better to err on the side of caution. I mean, look at this kid, he's crying. He's not going to make that up. But the ref dug his heels in and said it's not that we don't believe him, we just didn't hear it."
Expecting the league to suspend a player after the fact based on a hearsay accusation is entitled.
Telling the media that he doesn't want to goto the rink over this seems like a dramatic appeal to the woke court of public opinion.
"It really wasn't sitting well with me that this guy hasn't been suspended, that nothing has happened. I find it gross. I don't have the will to go to the rink," Nicola-Lalonde said. "They haven't handled this well at all."

The refs handled it appropriately. The ref has to see it / hear it.

Condoning your kid slashing because another player called him a name.............piss poor parenting.

Re: Forest Hill under investigation in racial abuse case
All of tis is miniscule in comparison to what is currently happening in our courts of law.
In most cases a defendant's prior criminal record is admissible as evidence regarding the character make up of the defendant. A judge recently ruled that for "marginalized" Canadians this is no longer acceptable because it paints an unfair picture of the defendant based on race or colour.
In the most recent case it resulted in the acquittal of a repeat dangerous offender.
We now have a two tiered law system.

It’s how players police themselves when greasy players do things that the ref doesn’t see or hear.Guest wrote: ↑Tue Oct 11, 2022 11:05 amI don't think violence is an appropriate reaction.Guest wrote: ↑Sat Oct 08, 2022 10:54 pmIts name calling...the kid needs to get over it.

Slashing isn’t violent, it’s a penalty. Penalties are part of the game.
A 2 min or 5 min penalty is much less severe than a 3 game suspension for uttering a racial slur.
