“The teen referees are 13 and 14 years old, according to the Pacific Northwest Amateur Hockey Association.”

That parent isn’t going to be going to any hockey games for quite awhile.

I hope that adult is arrested, charged, and convicted of battery. It is especially unacceptable for an adult to do this to a minor.

Parents at a kids’ game draw out the worst in humanity sometimes. When we first started our kids in hockey teams I was amazed at all the signage to try and keep the adults from ruining the fun the kids were having. Keep your negativity and nostalgia for what you wished you had done as a kid home, idiots. Stop messing up everyone’s enjoyment, especially your own child’s.

I used to ref basketball games for fifth graders when I was a teenager. The amount of yelling parents was crazy. Like guys, if I call everything we are never going to finish this game.
