Punishing my 6 yr old boy

[desy]

Pins is another term for feet, and the net isn't taught, it has a lot of play where the netting will move a bunch, easily a foot.
At this age they don't get all the pads etc, just the goalie stick as most kids can't even raise the puck yet. They all play all the positions but basically it devolves to a blob chasing the puck around.

So, a child's parent shouldn't ever instill the idea that a coach and referee is someone to be respected? Come on. No-one is suggesting that a parent go out onto the ice and yell at the kid during practice, but if the parent finds out that the kid is disobeying the coach or is doing things behind the coach's and referees' backs, then the parent absolutely needs to take action (outside of the sport, on the rink is the coach's domain).

Exactly. This happened on the rink. The coach needs to take care of the issue.

Hell, i think it's better that the OP hand out any additional punishment... what pisses me off are those parents who think their kid can do no wrong and ***** out the refs/coaches who punish their kids for bad behavior.

agreed.

I have one more year left to coach (my son then moves on to Junior High). It will be bittersweet. Like working with the kids, tired of dealing with the parents.

What? that parents will coddle their children and not let the person they've entrusted their child with to take action with the child? Why have coaches or teachers or anyone else watch the child if the person that is watching them isn't allowed to correct the child's errant behaviour? Parenting a child is one ting, but when the child is doing a group activity and is being monitored by someone else, that someone should have the authority to correct the child and the parents shouldn't jump that person because of it. If the parents don't like the way a coack runs his team, take your kid off the team.

To the OP. Since you are a coach for the team, Tell him next time he does it he's going to the penalty box, and the team will have to do extra sprints or something. The biggest motivator I had to not screw up when playing hockey was to not piss off my team mates. It might not work at his age as you probably don't have checking drills, but when he's older and he does, team mates tend to take out those extra laps by adding some "Stank" to their checks.

You could also make sure he is the practice boy for the "Inglewood Jack""Inglewood Jack"

whatever.

Are you a parent?

yes to 2 girls and a boy. oldest girl is 14 and has been in competive soccer since she was 9 and we have taken may long road trip for her club. middle daughter isn't into sports. my son is 8 and is a wrestler.

I have never interfered with a coach and how he runs his team.

you trying to make a point?

anytime your kid punches another kid, the parent needs to do something about it. It's not about how to play hockey, it's about teaching your kid that punching other kids is never the right way to settle anything

I don't condone violence, and I sure as hell don't like kids punching kids, but this is Hockey we're talking about. What if he ends up playing in the NHL when he's an adult? Punching people in Hockey is like shooting foul shots in the NBA. A skill you need to have as it's just part of the game. If you don't learn to shoot foul shoots as a kid playing b-ball you will suck at it. Same goes for punching other Hockey players in the head.

in all seriousness if that was my kid I'd punish him by buying him some bright pink ice skates and making him wear them to practice a couple of times and during a few games.

Except fighting gets you a penalty and a free-throw is the result of a penalty.

I'm really having trouble picturing this whole punching kids in the head through a net thing.

Are you saying that you completely understand parenting? Write a book about it, I'm sure everyone would love to know.

Hockey net on ours the white trim along the bottom is pretty much resting on the ice,
So a little older netting and a little looser, kids heads don't even come to the top of the bar
My boy is 4' and he can stand inside, so as somebody stands say on the side of the net he punches them from the inside of the net to the outside.
So it loses a lot of energy but with small kids its enough to knock em off balance and down they go

err, at then tender age of 6, I think the kid doesn't need to be railroading fellow 6 year olds yet.

That explanation really doesnt help... Unless the netting is basically off, and the kid is leaning on the net for balance, I just dont know how this could happen. Got vid?

I just told the story to a guy at work and he shared a story of his childhood when he was 8/9

His dad told him to get some gasoline for the lawnmower so he filled up the gas can with water first to see if it would be too heavey to carry on his bike when filled.
His dad kicked him in the nuts!
He said he never did that again 'nosh1t'
I asked him if he felt it was appropriate how his dad handled the situation and he didn't think so, so much

I don't get it. It sounds like he was being smart.
