Eazy_b97 1 Report post Posted October 23, 2005 I've seen that a few times actually, sometimes they like to let players get their frustration out, others just did it to teach the kids how to protect themselves. Not my idea of a well drawn up practice, but not "rare" around here either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wingsfan7777 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2005 well speaking of insane coaches, in the practice before ours the other night some coach was slashing the crap out of each one of the kids as they went around this cone. He broke 2 sticks on these kids. It was funny but If he did that to me I'd turn around and punch him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You shouldn't perpetuate rumors like this when you don't have any solid facts. It's bad for the sport when even it's participants blow things like this out of proportion. Nobody has been arrested, and you can thank some fat-ass retired cop for this even being a "controversy" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miike 1 Report post Posted October 24, 2005 Our High School team does a drill once in awhile after practice on the ice, we stand around the center circle, drop the sticks before we enter the circle, than one person starts and its like sumo wrestling they call someone out then they try to push each other out of the circle and so on. Its a good raw stregth for battle along the boards. No headlocks or anything is allowed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its a good raw stregth for battle along the boards. No headlocks or anything is allowed. We've done something similar, called bull-in-the-ring, where we just do clean, open-ice checks. Each person gets a chance to go for a hit, while the guy in the middle tries to either get out of the way, or hit the guy as he skates in. It's all done totally randomly, so you never know where the guy is coming from. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All Torhs Team 0 Report post Posted October 24, 2005 from the original post, that would suck real bad, if you had to fight one of your friends, imagine the chemistry on that team. besides, I seriously doubt that it happened to often because a parent or spectator or player would take it into there own hands. Im guessing that alot of you know what locker boxing is. Ive never seen a topic about it on here. for those that dont know its basically fighting with gloves and helmet and usually in locker room behind coaches back. anyways, that is a typical activity that alot of my team mates participate in every week. it is used when people are just pissed of at each other, just for laughs or to bragging rights. either way its a really funny thing to watch. but i think that a coach might let that go, but rarely full out fighting.

I went to a hockey camp about 8 years ago where lockerboxing was out of control. One of the instructors actually boxed one of the kids in my group out of anger. That stuff normally can be just for fun with guys on a team together, but I've seen it get ugly...at the hockey camp I mentioned, and also during tryouts when guys aren't on the same team together [yet] and get pissed off.

All Torhs Team 0 Report post Posted October 24, 2005 ya, Ive gone to four hockey camps and it seems that those are the worst ones. because the guys dont have to deal with it next week, never gonna see them. the incident that was the worst was when we had a guy who was bout 6'2 at age 13 and there was a big time boxer in the locker room too. every practice, 3 times a day, there was a locker box. and we would go in a circle , you would have to fight the big guy or the boxer when it got to you, had assigned seats. one time every one ganged up on those two. (13-2) and we hardly beat em, ( we had alot of midgets ) thats the worst its ever been. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jason Harris 31 Report post Posted October 24, 2005 I've had friends tell me their coach in juniors would tap their shoulder at some point in training camp, letting them know they had to fight someone. Fortunately for me, I've always stunk at hockey and never have been in that circumstance, because I would have told the coach right then and there, "No way!"Even if it shattered my dreams that instant, I'll decide whether I'm going to fight someone.

hunter4oz 0 Report post Posted October 24, 2005 I'm not a big fan of picking fights, but i will drop them when push comes to shove. But im pretty sure that if my coach ever tried making me fight a teammate, I would just beat the coaches ass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
