Lansing-area residents were stunned to learn that a local coach had been suspended for encouraging his team of under-18 hockey players to drop their helmets and gloves and to fight one another on the ice during practices.
These fights resulted in numerous injuries to the boys, some of whom were bloodied, had concussions and ended up with a generally bad feeling about the game, their friends and themselves. Best friends were forced to fight each other as the coach egged them on.
The coach and parents of those who chose their sons' hockey careers over the safety and well-being of their kids should be charged under Michigan law for child endangerment and any other charge that will stick.
This is sickening.
