I went into the dressing room after the game to untie Mike’s skates and he was sitting right beside Liam. Liam’s dad, John, a ginger-haired Glaswegian who is an ardent member of the Glasgow Rangers Supporters Club, was untying Liam’s skates beside me. I was seething and not saying anything when Mike asked me a question: “How did I play, Dad?”
“Great, Mike, you played great. It’s not your fault if no one will pass you the puck.”
Unlike the targeting incident in lacrosse, where it took me years to realize what an ass I was, I knew I had made a big mistake the second the words came out of my mouth. Mike just looked at me. Liam looked at me. John Reddox, a good guy but every bit as much a Crazy Hockey Dad as me, just looked at me. No one said a word, which was good because it died right then and there. Under different circumstances, it could have evolved into quite a scene.
I was immediately embarrassed.

And also:
Interesting. Applies to a hell of a lot more situations than hockey, and more kids would have a lot more fun in hobbies and even in classes in school if their parents paid attention to these facts of life in general.
