Apparently the kid broke his wrist....pretty sickening display.

Then apparently lied and said that he slipped... despicable.

Gamesmanship

From what I read, the kids on the jerk coach's team are just as bad as he is. Cursing the other team and fans, and throwing water bottles into the stands.

And they actually WON the game.

What a pos.

[She'sTheFastest]

Well it's on tape now. He should get his.

[DelPen]

Anyone hear if NBC Sports will hire him as a commentator?

[brwi]

Woody Hayes and Keith Jackson support this!

That dude is not soff.

What a jagoff.

[ville5]

How long til the Flyers offer this dude a contract?

[nocera]

Any update on this?

[KennyTheKangaroo]

listen, its hard to sit and here say that kenny the kangaroo does not enjoy occasional goonery from the cooke and ruutu types, but the reason that youth coaches think its ok to do this kind of stuff is because the NHL allows it. this mentality is not good for anyone: its poor sportsmanship and just outright immature. the nhl is to blame for this.

edit:

The same can be said for goonery that takes place in adult roller/dek hockey teams.

[nocera]

The NHL allows coaches to trip players?

[Froggy]

Yeah, there is a huge difference between what agitators do, and a coach causing harm to a child. Take hockey out of it. On what planet is it ok for a grown man to intentionally cause harm to a child?

[RainbowsAndCottonCandy]

Broke both wrists...

[Mango Salsa]

As a former youth hockey coach Ive wanted to do that many times. Mostly to the kids on my team, tho.
