Goes out on the ice in the middle of -- heart gave out what she saw me it's not high school. Teens. But it is high school sports. So they're kind of like privacy the way I was reading it was it was formally get traveling type of team it's not necessarily youth hockey but it's. It was not school hockey's not it is you -- yes -- at the swamp Scott high school teams are still women list is so it's like may be why leave you are another thing that's the way I credit you so she's from when the mother yes that was I -- that -- the other day which you know goal and which makes you feel proud wonderful -- and there's a fight going on in normally I guess in high school fights in my memory but times have changed and in the you know without the kids love to imitate the pros and professional hockey is a lot about fighting. So there was this fight going on in the end the ice you've all seen the video I would assume it's a TV stations have been -- for days. And the mother are close -- frustrated because the fighting keeps going on and she runs out on the ice so yesterday was CS issue goes on The Today Show or something. Good Morning America. And she explains herself here she -- We see that tape that is already a minute or two minutes thirty minutes into the into the -- -- am -- initially started in front 9 PM the tribe net. Where one of the M wrapped his way is suns jumped by two an opposing player isn't. And a good fifteen to twenty seconds I'm. Fight I had -- in full progress before. My son came over and try to intervene to stop that by eight -- -- just got and you side progressively worse. And it didn't have plane just kept going going and going to sort you're a hockey mom and you know that you. Even tell that old joke you know -- find it a hockey game broke out again so you've seen this before what was different about this when I -- you get up and -- Hey guys -- Eckstein fights usually between one or two children and the -- usually stepping in immediately. Break it up OK step three. That didn't happen. Seen to what concerned me was that feeling -- have dubbed blows to the back of them ahead in the -- child going down on the ice. All right so this year as -- tool and she ran right out on that ice to protects. Her boy and to get the fighting to stop issue right Iraq for goodness. Delaware in the I think she is wrong you think she's wrong that a PS why -- state in the stands because does it's a game it's it's being officiated by the referees. No -- wasn't in any danger of getting severely hurt here is just you know come down lady and her son is sixteen years old. Yeah you know meaning he's -- hockey for a long time c'mon this is you know don't overreact to jump on the ice like a nice but here's I was the kid I would be mortified only guy and I probably have the hip check or incidents into the -- held on -- my initial response was the same as yours. But then. When I hear talk you know what you said she's hole and -- and she it's not like she's one of these overprotective. Mom -- seems to make. What I see is an instinctive response that says I don't like what's going on on the ice I'd go out there. And I kind of like that. What do you think 617266. Or smaller series aside after the into the games in Haiti and stuff that's stuff before it gets that you don't go on the ice and make an -- -- self. And embarrass your kid in the prospect kid. Whether he wants to admit it or not. It's probably the laughing stock of oh no higher class a lot a what was she saying thank Monroe had helped fuel Sheila did did she did -- an asteroid and she just reacted. And she reacted with that kind of street quality. That makes working class neighborhood such appealing places the people on how to respond to things on in the state of love it's not a Wellesley mother going out of the ice and sank. -- you know this -- too rough. She's got out their -- what -- don't know what the rest do your job Braff. I like doubt about -- that's why the newsstand are you stand at the big glass thing you bang on the thick. That's now been an active participant in the game of the mother was on the other side of the stands banging on the glass saying you know get this and -- -- this in order of what are you doing. You don't break that barrier and jump on the ice and stop becoming an -- to participate in the game that's just when -- -- mama grizzly there is no barrier John good knowledge -- -- -- is what it is all right -- over parenting -- just a good visceral response from a -- There are you kidding me that children were gonna get hurt and let's see that child until we -- pick and pop current share content. This could be better position inadvertently got in and got our pot. I've auditioned I I'm impressed that she info on our -- totally disagree with -- assessments one of those rare occasions I don't see her. As an overprotective. Mom I -- -- is a normal mom Loretta you're next on WRKO. And they are hockey mom and I hate acts within that teacher and I can't this this that. Woman who has been and I'd take cute I was so -- because that seeing it so I didn't feel really watched that video. One of the referees was trying to break it up the other -- ending two inches away from those kids can never yeah. Just blowing a whistle. So but but do you see your what your what do you say to John your response at this is overprotective. Parent in the big plague of our times. All four seconds that's a typical male which applied for a woman standing up for her kid. Ten minute break. Aren't Laura I thank you for valor and I love that that's what it is you know once -- put you kid him bubble -- make sure he never gets hurt again Nancy I think I mean -- he's a violent game she was joking about it on Good Morning America went to a fight a hockey game broke out all the sudden she's so upset wary that a -- getting a clenched in his face high and that's where I think kids how long. I miss three of the bubble wrap thing in this case is she's not a bubble wrap mom. She's not Mike you're RKO. They can order you don't do well thanks call what the first thing is yes you -- -- free trying to break up a fight. The other -- so in effect and are they have been expanding their new winning got to tell all against the board. Looking more it can just around the -- and run the game up he chose not to do that. Fighting is not allowed you thought he had an automatic suspension of at least three game. But I do not -- do the -- and they're required to go and -- break up these fights because and the -- they wait till -- go down to the ice. Yet -- -- -- -- break it up separate everybody. You dish up a penalty advocates handle because you try to control the game and that they end. I mean that's your job you're getting paid cash. Renewed so you're putting a whole environmentally risky if you don't stop the fighting is how are you saying. Exactly get somebody who worked great for a number of years that's what you do solicit they're watching it looking kind of bored. Going into summer argue cares. So that's that's what you end up. Is that it is summer hockey different then school hockey during the school year. Or edit because in high school -- nobody want to get thrown out of the game. -- human effects. Home. So the best out there resting right that they lose leverage because kids are only doing this summer thing to keep their skills good. Right so in summary of summer are you have kids who even -- scores from the school -- -- and they -- they get picked a player all start being the mob organization. So you're really need to be aware of what's going on -- what the circumstances. All right so there's not a higher burden on the raft stirring this summer hockey interest. You know prevalent thing in youth hockey. In -- when. I went on the ice I've a lot of other parents were screaming stop it stop the fight people are banging on the glass what needs doing when he embraced this up. And I just found myself open in the heat and watching iron to the Mason saying hey you need to get control this game -- -- dealing. Any turned around and yelled at me determined after the -- thanks and you need to do you job. All right ICI like there. She was chief -- -- -- that after the game she found herself opening the issue wasn't in control Lois did this a mother's watch thousands of hours a hockey probably and she realizes raft was not doing his job as she went to tell. It got to admire that combined -- Steve good morning GO. Good morning try to you -- when -- got a little bit different take this seriously do you realize somebody flight surgeon -- get an inch just get cash less. That's what I think he's amid a laughingstock. I and we didn't we can't let alone must scrap the lists that he's going to be -- in I know I have read our I think -- our church. -- speed up probably watch exchanged. They certainly more well I -- you're right his mother and -- all around -- school I. Don't judge your campaign. Well now but no really easy -- -- -- you -- are so let's just let's just start out great but no right now I guess every. I don't think she's arguing she did -- anything that was your son's best interest she just did. What she felt like dole and 'cause she was pissed off when she saw a guy wasn't doing his job. -- your -- good morning she erect. There are doing well good I think them it was boring it is more narrower than a raft. There are they cute take you blow to the back and ahead. Put out there that there's a thing called the sports legacy institute. Which what did you say most boring a two cent per steady. Become acutely aware of the fact there were a direct upload their head in soccer and advise. Still the power and -- later and they -- they overcome an outlook it's up to about a little Scott yeah. We're really concerned or dilute it and I think ultimate free should be -- not doing mr. Morgan Stanley so important to be -- All right there is another hour. Perspective. On this story 6172666860. Quick news that -- we'll take your call on 680 WRK. In its wind I wind on the ice I've lied about his parents were screaming stop. -- inviting people banging on the glass and what he's doing when you break this -- And now I just I found myself multi in the heat and locking eyes -- the -- There's CNN is. That loyal stronger visceral woman who just jumps up and fights. She's among the grizzlies can't control this game went. She's on momma grizzly. -- is there enough. Backwoods of Alaska with Sarah Palin shouldn't things. I don't think she's the overprotective mom in the sense of -- you know the bubble wrap cliche I think she's. A woman who sat there and said this isn't right -- to do something about it. 6172666. Seats exceeds the -- fiber show brought you by network capital funding corporation your future. Finance to Don your WRKO high. -- good morning NATO and good thanks call -- related a couple of points here first off you'll look in sixteen years goal okay. Not go looking at an athlete. That kid and he's pumping -- in there working out. You don't want you to get by this -- Tickets are not down on the ice that'll give CNN helmet -- you hit -- ice that we you're right I'm tied up and use your head blow you that you're doing damage. So there's no place for fighting -- that my old Earl make you know what the Canadian back in college. And told me that they would not show fights on the professional legal and TV. -- an update every lead. On down would have looked like a boxing -- they would all at all imitate but is it definite physical damage. I remember back you know I was kind of a scrap Bono advocate. -- about seventh grade is when you study didn't people and they -- bleeding. So I think he did he get your athlete it and I definitely do damage so there was a risk but as far as fighting in hockey -- I guess don't get it I mean I know that you know I know the crowd loved it but you gotta decide whether you have -- walking on ice box hockey in my estimation. Yeah I you know I share that I find it disappointing when that stuff happens I'm not your standard hockey fan demographically. But our our -- a kid and they were doing those are great competitions you know the US against. Team Canada the US against the Russians. And those were much more exciting games to me because there were a bigger ice surfaces are more passing and I just thought wonderful hockey did a whole idea of the fight -- -- a pro level low is a business decision because people do love it. When you're running only for kids doing ever responsibility to make sure that they're playing the sport. And the refs aren't standing around watching fights and end wasn't this mother doing the right thing. To our require the -- that they do their job I mean how could she sit there are not let down -- you know not make them. Do what they're supposed to do and make the kids play hockey tiger NW RKO good morning GO. They'd blow you I'm good thanks. I don't wholly agree with few little she's a very responsible parents and all old people -- -- -- -- them -- every mother father Brothers just. Grandmother aren't you have been on net patient in their finger -- -- -- And then all the popcorn vendors they should have been on that everybody should have -- also try to break it up maybe they'll order a category. Yeah yeah -- -- if others have followed her out there. That if everybody without notable -- I'm sure that you know he really had you worry about it we want to read what you do -- we got a text from my area of five hallway where the coaches and and that's a really good question why would wouldn't coaches have gone out there. I would only -- product sides regard that lately but still as well what happened -- if everybody on the -- whoever else -- -- I think I think you're exactly right if everybody goes on the ice -- what do stopped instantly that I -- As a matter of fact they were so surprised the kids when they saw her they stop fighting. Every game Medved did the little altercation where before anything else on the ice no let the other people understand -- terrible problem still looked out for -- -- recipe for -- that's step. Well that's debts if you're talking about routine yeah this is where the arrest -- doing their job. So you think everybody should just sit there and watch the rest not do their job. The crowd of public opinion no longer on the game Lendale rolls -- you said shook -- that you are for the young guys because it. Sure -- mean this was an exceptional situation so she has to follow all the rules but not the wraps and not the kids. Chris good morning CO. Good morning good diet shoot -- thought the first one is they switch and unisex bathroom because the burning a little girl girl and her mom. The and they all did a lot of this woman runs into our kids future and yelled at her. When she used to much work are you worried about it getting carpal tunnel I mean this is ridiculous. I think here is this is a cliche response is being missed supplied these we're not talking about some fancy Wellesley mother. Who's being overprotective I don't think I don't see any signs that hurt that hurt kids a lifelong hockey player he sixteen he holds his -- just fine. She's watched enough hockey games to know in the restaurant. We split the only sport that there's no fighting in your call every she's she's got all the there's fighting hockey really wish you all the the sky is blue true. Know what she's appalled by is that it was going on for so long because she knows the rest are required to break up the fights and that's what they've always done so she looks out there she sees a ref who's standing around ignoring the fact that there's a fight going on. First sixty seconds by her own admission with 62 sixteen year old -- despite their -- fight at least failure that helmet on. -- inability what if we scrapped because what she did. -- well that's a whole other point and that's and that's a good one -- as was pointed out earlier she's created a lot of trouble potentially for the kids. You felt compelled to bring the purse with it -- good -- except that I said. But you know what this has do with it tried in the stand they he can do all this I have to break up a hockey fight. Yet haven't gone over to welcome the reaction as you know has been mixed there have been some parents are like yes because you're right concussions and injuries with the youth hockey in other sports. Very. Important to put put a stop to that but then there are others to be heard especially some male voices -- And still I would say when he went back into the stands well I was told. A lot of people are concerned safe in case I have yet to find out. And they worry you know they are a lot because -- a lot of the people that where there -- feeling the same feelings I was behind. I love her I wish she had a shotgun whether. Our dad Timmy is just a normal mother that's an overprotective mother that's the opposite. That's a tough mother who sees something. That isn't right and she Axelrod even thinking about it so let me let me throw this scenario it's you know this this mother is at the baseball field to right with her but their -- And the pitcher throws a little -- inside -- -- -- off the plate fishing go onto the field and -- the umpire because he's throwing nice son who that would match my son alone that throwing -- -- that would match or there -- description or her -- match up -- -- know if your -- into faring in the course of the game because he's upset that her child might get -- if -- -- to her child. In your child's -- -- my plate and I brush him off a little bit I might even hit him once or twice you know what if you don't usually -- years you -- think she's a wonderful -- for charging onto the mound go to games for years like any parent does hockey parent baseball parent what do you see. You see everything that's normal and you know instantly went something wrong is going on. So that's who she was in my eyes I don't see some overprotective mother Chris you're on RKO high. I don't like to weigh in on those -- are -- -- In order to get -- Ali I sure would have been out there so this solved all gotta -- you don't. I'm not protecting her little baby boy in his bubble wrap and that's all closed down to -- -- The chipped out there you would have seen her -- with two seconds. Well that's good she would've been sit in that miserable rain cool would be in a hockey rink you czar Ken weren't playing good. And it go to -- Oh come on -- to go high school games you go other for a free kids somebody's got to do when something inappropriate the way their run in the game you lacked. Barber here on the -- fibre channel hard barber. Changing -- Kentucky she should get Iran and get -- -- Petri dish. -- not complaining about fights she's complaining about a ref who's not doing his job she knows their job. Is -- great job. In the -- site you should fan I'm not Indian it -- that urged egyptians it's the -- -- -- -- -- I. That part lucky actually that. And she's not an idea that she's saying it's the job of the refs to break it up there was this do you see the video does one breathless just stand in there -- this. Fist on his on his hip who's so waiting for the ring then all by itself. They don't even do that professional high while that's not sure I don't have. The context of how this game is going to begin with maybe this was an incident where the rest felt like. These kids just need to brawl for a little bit and get rid of these this anxious angry energy they have and then we can continue to have the game. Because they might remember raking up to three little fisticuffs throughout the entire game. NASA at the NHL does every now and again the NHL says screw it just fight get it over with so we can move on with the game. And and my example of the baseball thing as the exact same it's part of the game -- hockey -- fighting in hockey is part of the game you get hit sometimes you fight. It happens. In baseball sometimes you get the ball thrown at you. Either you -- show boating you crowding the plate doesn't give the parents the right to charge up the stands onto the field to protect a little children. That's the way the game is played. If you don't like you can go by -- hall -- my Barbie dream house he -- all of our -- sandbox annual bash he's not claiming they are high she's just did what any good mother would do in especially ones that come from towns like Glenn. There -- feisty and they stand up for what's right Judy here on WRKO hi Judy. Hi Todd thanks so much into my -- You know lecture. -- I would've done the same saying no actually I can without hair and it Eric I thought that refereed to -- and they are not doing any -- And loops can get really hurt and he's in because I know it's hockey or whatever period apply age we have to say okay each. Dean as it did go chill far. You know what's the point they did you stop that and and you do something and I think the mother did the right thing and again I wouldn't on the same channel. Thank you for that it's nice here that opinion we heard from a referee a guy who -- High school games earlier and he said that's your job as a -- you're not supposed to allow the fighting because the risky is. That you lose control of the whole place they do not only lose control a game but the fans can get involved in -- have a whole big mess on your hands and the way you control it. Is by making sure you break up those fights rights. Away that's how it works research shows there are large numbers of people in America large feet.
