Remember back when you were ten years old and you were getting pumped up for a good game of hockey? What motivated you? Was it the love of the game? Pizza afterwards? "Fine beer"?
Win or lose it's how you play the game. However, I am familiar with hockey parents who would damn near punish their kids if they lost a game (remember, it's a team sport!). If the team won, then maybe you'd get pizza, a pat on the back or "you'll still have to work harder next time, you just got lucky."
Well, a youth hockey league in Saskatchewan seemed to have hockey parents who thought Coors Light was a "fine beer" worthy of celebration after a hard game. On top of that being slightly inappropriate and illegal, this coach and treasurer, figured it would be great to get this on film and post in on YouTube (this video has now been removed for obvious reasons). You can find one news article here.
Apparently the kid seemed uncomfortable accepting the idea of posing with a bottle of Coors Light. I don't blame the kid, even at ten years old I'm sure he knew the difference.
My mind is simply blown by this concept of posing children with beer in a locker room after a game and posting it publicly over the internet. It's not just the coaches that suffer from this but the kids as well.
After all, it's still just a game.
Keep your stick on the ice, and drink a real fine beer... when you're old enough to do so.
