Message: <blockquote data-quote="Davy Crockett" data-source="post: 249570" data-attributes="member: 367">  In bigger towns there are usually rec leagues and traveling teams if you don't care to digest the crap that comes with competition but in all leagues sportsmanship should be top priority .  I have no idea who said what but there is a fine line with no gray area that separates good sportsmanship from poor sportsmanship .   That line sometimes gets crossed In all sports, school activities and parenting.    There are way to push young minds to potential  without derogatory, demeaning, and intimidating language.    We encouraged our kids to be involved in sports to teach them sportsmanship , discipline and hard work and teamwork .    Our goal was to encourage them to be competitive and set their goals and stay away from the drug crowd .       I'd have to say it was a success but that's coming from a small town.    Things tend to get uglier when there are more people involved and there are a few parents and probably a few coaches that should stay away from sports and extracurricular activities if we want to promote sportsmanship .     We saw some pretty ugly situations north of the 49th.  Our boys played both Canadian and US leagues every year until high school age.    There is a difference between night and day at the US border when it comes to competitiveness and sportsmanship.  Friendly Manitoba until you step on the ice but they tend to leave it on the ice.  "A boys high school hockey coach in North Dakota was placed on indefinite leave on the day of the team’s first regional playoff game, for reasons that were later announced as his use of, “intimidating language.”As reported by the Grand Forks Herald, Red River High School (Grand Forks, N.D.) boys hockey coach Bill Chase was <a href="https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/hockey/4573489-documents-red-river-coach-bill-chase-placed-leave-intimidating-language" target="_blank">placed on indefinite leave</a> due to, “conduct unbecoming and unfitting of a high school coach, including a history (of) derogatory, demeaning, and intimidating language,” as disclosed in the district’s paperwork which was obtained by the Herald.<a href="https://usatodayhss.com/2019/north-dakota-hs-hockey-coach-placed-on-leave-for-intimidating-language" target="_blank"></a><a href="https://usatodayhss.com/2019/north-dakota-hs-hockey-coach-placed-on-leave-for-intimidating-language" target="_blank">https://usatodayhss.com/2019/north-dakota-hs-hockey-coach-placed-on-leave-for-intimidating-language</a></blockquote>
