We’ve all been there. Either in the stands watching our friends or siblings play or on the ice with our parents watching. Something happens, either you are on the wrong side of a two-hander or you get slashed while you have the puck covered and you hear a familiar scream or yell on the other side of the glass. It’s your parents going crazy because the referees didn’t call a penalty you drew.
 The dad  was so mad over his daughter getting taken down that he used bad language and slammed his left hand against the glass so hard that it shattered it. The manager of the rink said that his wedding ring is what shattered the glass and the ring broke too. A family friend of Paul said his ring was made of Carbide and the hardness of the metal caused it to shatter the glass. The man has been banned from the arena and has to pay to replace the pane of glass in addition to his wedding ring.
The  man is now banned from watching his kid play hockey and had to pay to replace the glass and his wedding ring because he was angry over the refs call? I hope he’s learned his lesson. This incident occurred just in Vancouver is considering banning spectators because of persistent harassment of referees. Mind you these kids who referee youth hockey games are as young as 15/16 years old trying to make a few bucks to save money for a new car or a new hockey stick. I’ve seen many abusive parents.SHoulnt  matter  if you boo or  mad with a call,  But to cause a stoppage of play like shattering the glass is just cause to get banned from a rink because he’s not mature enough to keep his emotions in check.

2016 Winter Classic Between the Montreal Canadiens and the Boston Bruins

The NHL confirmed the 2016 Winter Classic will be held at Gilette Stadium ( home of the New England patriots). This Match up is a rivalry between the Montreal Canadiens and the Boston Bruins, an original 6 match up. This Winter Classic will represent the old 1990's match up. The Canadiens and the Bruins wer'e always a big match up in the National Hockey League. The Teams have met in the playoffs 34 times and the Montreal Canadiens have won 25 of the series. This rivalry is one of the biggest in professional sports and sports fans, the Yankees–Red Sox rivalry, Jets–Patriots rivalry and Celtics–Lakers rivalry. The first ever NHL out door hockey game was played back in 2003 as the Edmonton Oilers faced the montreal Canadiens in an outdoor brawl. The weather was -45 in edmonton and it was very cold. The Canadiens have yet to play in a winter classic but they have played in a couple heritage classics (other game against the Calgary Flames) The game ended in a 3-1 win to the flames over the Canadiens. I think it was a great idea to put the Boston Bruins up against the Montreal Canadiens because it brought tramendist hype to the game. it is a big opportunitie to reunite the 2 teams in a game that will bring joy to the fans. This years winter classic was the Washington capitals against the chicago black hawks what i thought wasnt a very interestting match up for the outdoor games but last year was a oringinal 6 match up as the maple leafs faced the detroit red wings in michigan
