To truely appreciate why your team is winning or losing, one has to maintain constant attention to the action. As a parent or a fan, YOU can simply choose NOT to scream at your own coaches, the opposing team, the officials or the fans of the opposing team. If you see someone who you know well, engaging in this negative behavior, encourage them to stop. Adults must set the example of how to properly enjoy a hockey game.
