A Manitoba hockey mom says things turned ugly at a peewee hockey game in Neepawa last weekend.
Tanis Brandon was watching from the stands when she says she heard players and parents taunting her 12-year-old son’s team, the Waywayseecappo Wolverines
“We heard many parents saying ‘those boys are just going to get drunk, maybe they’re drunk now. They’re probably hungover. Look at how they’re playing,'” said Brandon, who is the team’s assistant manager.
The Wolverines were playing the Neepawa Natives at Neepawa’s Yellowhead Centre on Saturday. Neepawa is about 170 km northwest of Winnipeg.
