"A midget hockey coach is facing assault charges after allegedly hitting two 15-year-old players with a hockey stick and a third player with a helmet."

Geez, these rink rage stories seem to happen earlier every winter. It's too bad that one guy blows his stack and the entire hockey community looks bad as a result, but at the same time, there's a part of you that always says it looks good on these minor hockey coaches, who a well-documented tendency for power-tripping. Of course, if coaching teenagers wasn't made to be such a thankless job, we'd get better people, wouldn't we.

The coach facing the charges is ID'd in the article as "Brian Tracey." There's a Brian Tracy listed on the website of the Don Mill Flyers. Whatever the accused coach's issue is, here's hoping he's man enough to get some help and forgiveness.
