You people are what's wrong with youth sports. You are so classless. The grandmother who recorded the shots with the blonde hair and Rifles hoodie sweatshirt should be banned from her grandkids games from now on. She was so antagonistic ringing the cowbell and taunting the VW moms. It is all on Livebarn you morons from Springfield. You dumb dumbs didn't know you were sitting in front of the camera and microphone. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Now every time you walk into a rink people know how classless you are. The mom from VW walked away from you in discussed in the second period and then you despicable people cheered when a Springfield player almost knocked her kid out. USA hockey needs to put you people on the next ADM video to show what the faces of bad parents are. I am not a VW parent. But that group of parents deserves a pat on the back for keeping their composure. Stay classy VW 07. You are ok in my book. Congrats to the coaches for pulling those kids off the ice. Best of luck this season 07 VW and remember Rifles karma and the hockey Gods never sleep.

As written, your use of a sweeping generalization of "you people" includes not only these two characters you're actually referring to but everyone on the Boards, if not every parent in youth hockey. That, by default, has to include you, too. It's your fault! You're what's wrong with youth sports!

And they're the "dumb dumbs?"

How about #63 from Rifles, cross checks kid in face, the kid gets up and then destroys #15 from Rifles and then #63 starts dropping haymakers on the kid. And doesn’t get tossed from game. And yes the parents were classless. And the grandma keeping stats, wasn’t a grandma. She’s a mom.

i saw the second period. what a disgrace 2-3 rifle players were. #63 throwing punches and then the 5 stride open ice check to a vjw player without puck........some serious discipline should be coming to rifles based on what i saw

What starts this is a rifles kid gets cross checked in the throat. Then it turns into a mess. Seemed like the rifles were
Content to politely beat them by 12 until the penalty. Refs did a terrible job leading up to the stopage. To the warrior parent complaining about both cow bells and a volunteer parent likely keeping stats for the coaches. Like Christopher walken on Saturday night live..we need more cow bells. Next time sign up for a lower level tournament and maybe you can ring your own cow bell.

outlaw hockey
being played by outlaw teams
in outlaw rinks

Total disgrace

wait to the real hitting starts

you are wrong. what started it was the hit to the vjw warrior in the corner by a rifle. that started it. as an 05 parent, i can tell you that those rifles kids(2-3 of them not whole team) wont be playing very long. and the open ice hit with a few seconds left in period speaks volumes about the kid, parents and coaches. if i coached that kid, he would sit be suspended for a bit to learn how sickening that hit was

someone should post the clip to the board.....it was that bad.

Just don’t make me look at those ugly beast moms again. I can go to the Big E fair if I want to see that.

its not about that. its about what happened on the ice. someone has to be able to get the livebarn clip onto here. if anyone reading this saw what happened, everyone would refuse to play that team. that stuff should never happen at first year pee wee. who can post the clip?

as an aside, dont the gilmartins own the e9? it was there tourney and the hit was against their team....are they going to do anything about it?

kind of ironic that they let the rifles continue to play and that team beat the warriors elite team in finals...i would have kicked them out of tourney

Delusional. I had just come from the other game on RInk 1 and was on the glass for the whole thing. What started it was a Rifles kid leaping with skates off ice to cross check and flatten the VWJ kid who then got up and retaliated. Then four Rifles kids (who should have all been ejected), jump in and throw haymakers and ends with the head coach's son smashing his stick on the VJW's kid from behind. That team should face a serious suspension from future tournaments. Probably not the kid's faults, just disgraceful coaching.

Where can I find the game..Day, Rink, Time?

saturday 8/25 at 6pm, tewksbury rink 2. watch the second period...especially last 10 minutes of the second. warriors didnt play the third. pulled the team

come back with your opinion

you must be a rifle parent....a parent that wanted his kid to get revenge from last year....i wonder if your kid is the one who laid the warrior play out. assuming rifles wanted revenge for coaches yelling last, you are suggesting what happened is ok? is springfield really that dumb a place?

Warrior kid cross checked a Rifles kid in the neck from behind after the whistle blew ,then was on top of him punching until the other Rifles kid came in to help. If you’re ok with that then you are the problem. He could have permanently hurt that kid.

Maybe you should watch it again....

Wow! All this is over that 8 seconds of competitive boys being boys. Warriors kid throw a chop behind the net, rifles kid comes up high and the kid goes down, Warriors kid throws a crosscheck in the back and gets punched a few times. If you watch it in mute, you think, Ok, call a few penalties, maybe kids get tossed, if you listen to it with the Moms loosing their s h i t you think, Ok that kid is never going to walk again.

You tell kids to be competitive and to not take any s h i t on this ice, then when they actually don't take it, you cry about that too. I would suggest golf or bowling where your kid will never have to face aggression.

Where is the dirty check? Was that at a different part of the game?

final minute of second period. live barn catches it a second late...but you see enough to know what happened. it was intent to injure. is that player ok? could easily have concussion

played against that rifles team last year. parents are loud and obnoxious. and thats without the cowbell. its springfield so i guess i get it

Dislocated shoulder and went to the ER.

Moronic post....and the reason there is garbage play like this in hockey. Solid parenting there...

#63 started it, got his own teammate crushed, then threw multiple punches at kids head from VJW. Ref watched the whole thing, actually pulled #63 away. Ref and #63 should be suspended for a while. Kid from VJW was tossed for his cross check. Why did they toss the kid from the Rifles #5 it looked like. Was he the teams sacrificial lamb. But that open ice hit was delivered with force and intent. And you can hear the Rifles mom’s cheer and ring the cowbell after that... Stay Classy Springfield

#10? VJW shoulders #63 Rifles player
#63 Rifles player 2 hand pushes #10? VJW back
#10? VJW cross-checks #15 Rifles player
#63 drops 7-8 punches to back of head of VJW player

heres the beauty part....

#5 Rifles (coach's son) tomahawks VJW player over the head with his stick and then slashes behind the knees a few seconds later as the VJW player skates away

what do gilmartins have to say? its their tourney against one of their teams.....from their league

what number is the rifles kid who takes 5 strides and then blows up the vjw player? coaches kid too?

#9

Fact checker.....
#10 cross checks #63 from behind
#63 turns around and cross checks #10
Ref blows whistle ... talking to #15
#10 cross checks #15 from behind so hard he lands on top of him

The kid from VW who got wrecked has a hot mom.

Can we get the Springfield people cheering for hitting the VW kid and upload that to barstool sports. Now that would be vigilante justice. C’mon some young dude from your office can figure that out

if you saw the ground and pound game of #63, you had to see 1) goalie leaving the crease for an altercation and 2) #5 going medieval

what is organization saying about this? it was their tourney against one of their teams, from their league. do they have your back?????????????????

Whole thing starts at center ice, go back and watch it #63 shoves #10 from behind into the glass. #10 follows play behind the net and gives a few whacks to #63’s pants. #63 turns and comes up high with his stick to kids face. Kid gets up and takes out wrong kid, gets pounded again by #63, tomahawked by #5 while still getting punched by #63. Skates away and then gets slashed by #5. Somebody should tell #63 if he can’t take push back he maybe shouldn’t be the first to push. If you watch it close when the kid from VJW gets up #63 hides behind the Ref.

the tomahawk was like the scene in Slap Shot

#5 went Marty McSorley on the VJW player

1. Hockey is contact sport at any level, that's why you spend thousands of dollars on equipment
2. Don't ever come on the dboard looking for sympathy (Rookie mistake)

You are complete *******

Organizations from Worcester and Springfield generally play a very physical game. A bit of street tough hockey.
You need to realize it when you go in and be prepared for it. Once checking starts, be ready. They don't check to take you off the puck, they check to take you off your skates.

Every team has their "thing".... ice goons, PIA parents (cowbells, mom chirping, angry dads on the glass), coaches yelling and swearing at opposing kids, hometown refs, bad ice, goalie dad videoing from behind the net, parents carrying their kids bags at the squirt level and an occasional hot mom club. The longer you are in the sport with your family, the more you will see and you will figure it out.

Welcome to the E9!

I think you bean BHL

But who beaned yours???? I bet it was 63, he brings the hammer down.

The kid buried his shoulder and laid the kid out but that isnt the most disturbing part of this. These teams are horrible!

watched this springfield group last few years and they do play a game that will only become more pronounced as they get older.. watch out.:dog:

Except most of those kids are just starting their 2nd or 1st season on this Rifles team. They have 3 long term kids and one of them is the goalie. One kid returned from a year or so away( he will be their best player by far). #63 and #9 are both first year Rifles, maybe they won’t even see a league game they keep this stuff up.

The team will be very tough to deal w. Dman will only get better..

3 of the 4 Dmen are big, all 3 big men are slow as molasses, only one can really move the puck and shoot. Their best Dman is the smallest one, solid with the puck , good skater , moves it well and keeps people in front of him. The big trees get roasted by everyone. The team will be lucky to make the E9.

Hahahahaha! Are you analyzing 07’s? Maybe let them get some hair on their balls before you grade their future.
For god sakes enjoy the ride, it’s over soon. Like I used to tell other parents, copy your post and paste it into a document so you can
Go back and read your rediculous nonsense in a few years.

Ya, right...see you have it all wrong

You don't get a chance to be a 3rd liner on Pope Francis unless you play for the Rifles

The USABCDEFGHL has it all wrong...BF has it right, "from cradle to Pope"

ANother Dimwitted response. Go to Canada and watch the kids play. It's hockey not garbage like this. If the organizations in Springfield are taught to play like garbage, the kids have no future. Clean the sht up and move on.

We were waiting to play the next game so i have no skin in the game. And in fact you're dead wrong and clearly haven't played serious hockey. There's a reason hitting isn't allowed at this age; medical facts point out the greater risk long term effects of head injuries at a younger age. There's supposed to be no hitting in the game (taken out for precisely the above reason), let alone the garbage from the other night. When the hitting starts, kids are trained how to properly hit and how to more importantly take contact. Until them, player development is about skill on the ice. If you can't understand that, it's alarming, and hope your son doesn't ever face serious injury from lack of coaching.

The canadian skilled players aren't hitting at this age. Go up to Montreal or the cross border tournaments in Vermont. The Canadian coaches/parents get it, they are all about skill and finesse. We watched the #3 ranked center in Canada play (Canadian teams from Toronto, Montreal) against a team from southern mass and it was night and day. Speed, skill on one end, cheap hits on the other (the parent reaction was worse than what we saw the other night with people from Mass telling the Canadian parents to "go back to their effing country". That's downright embarrassing). The canadian team didn't need to hit and the game wasn't even close 10+ to nothing.

None of these kids are going to the NHL anyway, so teaching them to try to take each other's heads off is ludicrous.
Your team looked pretty skilled, hope they focus on that alone this year for a successful season.

...talking about PeeWee and under youth NON-CONTACT hockey btw, not high school and college. i get that hitting is allowed then.

I heard the coach was getting sucked off by one of the moms

Its all the Donald's fault, he didn't get the wall up in time!! Funny stuff , they are Peewee's right? Good stuff but the mom squealing is the best!

Anyone on any team that cowbells up is an antagonistic piece of trash, how does being an obnoxious slob help the kids develop? Does it teach them camaraderie? It teaches them it's okay to be a loser, saw a guy with a bongo last year, an effing bongo like you'd see in a Steven Seagal movie, complete dbag.

Just so you know. My son is a rifles player and has had two concussions, a knee injury, and a back injury from playing hockey. We’ve also had a kid break his collar bone in a tournament. So it does happen. It’s a contact sport. As the kids get older the more contact there is. And your team was real “ classy” by flipping the bird as they were leaving the ice.

You are an effing idiot. so your saying because your son has had injuries, that justifies what happened saturday? Seriously? Sniff more of that springfield paint. You must have been the blonde keeping stats or the mom shaking the cowbell.

The worst thing that happened was the VJW players cross check to the Rifles kid after the whistle blew. #15 was talking to the ref and the kid hit him in the back of the neck so hard they both went down. That is intent to injure.

That was a **** move, and he should be disciplined for that cross check as that could have injured the kid,
but the 8 stride bodycheck was a terrible thing to watch.

Can we move on yet? Im sure the kids have

No I am not. It doesn’t matter who my kid is on the team. I am just saying that he’s been hurt playing. I’ve had to drive him straight to the ER for being slufooted which is illegal and the kid should have gotten kicked out of the league but I didn’t persue anything. I did have to pay for 6 weeks of physical therapy for his knee injury that he sustained. I am just saying hockey injuries happen. My brothers friend got his wrist skated over while at a tournament when hey wer kids and another kid broke his collar bone three hours away from home. And just for the record we clapped when the player got off the ice

But none of that nonsense that went on Saturday needed to happen. As long as kids like #63 can’t control themselves this will keep happening to your team. The kid who did the cross check from VJW was reacting to an over reaction from #63 who didn’t like the kid swatting him in the thigh. That stuff happens all game, if he’s going to spaz out every time you are in for an eventful season. And #9 taking a run at that kid wasn’t needed, 5-0 score with his team coasting to an easy win. Maybe their coach might want to instill a little sportsmanship into those kids.

This is why I am glad my kid is EHF ELITE. We dont have to deal with this rif raf and dirty play.

The mommy lost me at "There's a reason hitting isn't allowed at this age; medical facts point out the greater risk long term effects of head injuries at a younger age"

You realize it was all a money grab by USA Hockey to keep revenue coming in through peewee years, right? The 'medical facts' were presented by USA Hockey as the reason but ask one or 5,000 medical experts if it's a great idea to delay checking until the age when the absolute discrepancy in size is at it's greatest and 100% of them will tell you it's a stupid & dangerous idea.

And here we are, all for the love of money and a little boost for the kids in Ann Arbor.

After Rifles tryouts next March.
We can all say....Sorry your Grandma got cut! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This is my field. Obviously not yours.

You are incorrect. In every way. I could spend time outlining for you how the rotational forces are far more significant in the cause of a concussion and how a child has a disproportionately sized melon as compared to the rest of his/her body and how the neck muscles cannot respond to the rotational force as well as when they are older or even present the data about how a child's neurons respond to head injury but what would be the point? You already have your opinion and some nonsensical group of 5,000 medical professionals. Seriously. Step aside. Your opinion is not an equivalent to fact or medical science. Ass.

Just watched. Rifles definitely instigators. Terrible hockey from both sides. What a mess

OK enough of this post...we've beat this story to death... it was obviously a bad moment for all involved...let it go and get ready for the season...we all get it now...now go get your effin shine box!!!:laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :muscle: :muscle: :muscle:
