The Death Pool – Special Report – Parents Can Ruin Careers Part Deux

Hey kids, just when you thought the Coach was getting through to some people with his weekly cant miss reading articles, we get a doozy from someone who clearly doesn’t have time to read.

Yep, hockey mommies and daddies need to wake up and smell the coffee.  As in, don’t call the coach, don’t call the GM, and don’t try to pretend you’re an agent or adviser when you have no clue what you’re doing.

Hey, would any of you normal thinking people object to the Detroit Red Wings Mike Babcock helping your kid out?  I didn’t think so, well unless your a Bluejackets fan.  Ha Ha Ha

So what do you get when you have an over zealous hockey mom involved in her sons hockey career?  Usually you get an absolute shit show, but in this case you get British Columbia Chief Justice issuing a Court Order.

A chief justice has taken the unusual step of ordering a mother whose sons are junior hockey players in the Vancouver area to stop contacting her son’s coaches and National Hockey League officials.

Supreme Court Chief Justice Chris Hinkson granted the restraining court order at the request of the boy’s father, who told the court that his two hockey-playing sons were embarrassed by their mother sending emails to their coaches, school principals and others.

Ummmmmm yeah.  Dad is on board with the restraining order!  Priceless!

The court was told that the mother has sent hundreds of emails to people involved in her sons’ hockey teams in the past and has caused commotions at their hockey games, including assaulting one son’s coach.

The court was also told that the mother does not approve of the involvement of Mike Babcock, the coach of the Detroit Redwings Hockey team, in one son’s hockey and sent an e-mail earlier this year to 13 people at the Detroit Redwings NHL hockey team.

Can you imagine?  I am not making this up people.  This looney tune must think her kid is too good for Babcock or something.  But hey, Babcock is not shy about saying players need to work hard, and he has scared off a few free agents because of it.  Something tells me this kid wont be getting picked by the Wings!  Ha Ha Ha

Hey Mom, thanks for burning my chances with one of only thirty NHL teams!  Yeah I am sure no one else in the league will hear about it either.

Guess what parents, this too could be you!  Just a bit of free advice for you….back away from the computer, put down the phone, and stop trying to run your kids career.  Then again, you could just keep doing what you’re doing and you too could make The Death Pool.
