When I was 16 or 17 I subbed on a rec league team that a friend of mine played with. We had a female goalie who was very good, and were playing the most obnoxious team in the division. With about a half minute left in the game one of their players, who was much bigger than our goalie, skates over to our net way behind the play and starts getting in our goalie's face, calling her a dyke and whatever else he can think of, and then proceeds to spit in her face. She shoves him away from her, and winds up and absolutely decks her. Anyway, needless to say I and everyone else on my team at the time jumped the guy, and things got pretty ugly.
I'd say that was the most angry I've been in hockey, even though I'd had players go after teammates before, because I know that our goalie hadn't done anything to this guy except make a bunch of saves on him, and this ******* just couldn't handle being shut down by a woman. It was just so ridiculous, and having played much of my hockey with a defensive partner who was a girl, it really pissed me off to see the type of attitudes I'd seen from other kids from an adult, but even worse than ever.
