The only female on a high school ice hockey team in Pennsylvania was left in tears last week after insults and chants were hurled at her while she was playing.

"The game shouldve been stopped until the behavior stopped or the fans were escorted out of the building," league commissioner John Mucha said of an ice hockey game at the Belmont Ice Arena on Oct. 28.

About 50 to 60 Armstrong High School students in Kittanning, located about 44 miles from Pittsburgh, chanted "shes a whore!" and other vulgarities at the Mars Area High School teams female goalie. The unidentified high schooler was left in tears by the second period of the game, according to her coach, Steve Meyers.

"We have no one else. She plays varsity and JV for us," Meyers said. "With all the training were required to do as coaches about safe sports and sportsmanship, this should not happen. For it to fail this badly, its really disappointing."

Armstrongs principal, Kirk Lorigan, said school officials were "appalled and embarrassed" and he was "disgusted" that parents and security guards did not stop the chants. He also apologized to the player, the team and the Mars community.

Lorigan said that officials were still investigating but that "appropriate school discipline has been used."

It is unclear exactly how the students who shouted the vulgarities were disciplined, but Armstrong County commissioners extended a ban on students in grades 9-12 from attending hockey games at the Belmont complex, to also include 7th and 8th graders.
The female player received widespread support after the incident, including from Team USA Womens Hockey Olympian Meghan Duggan on Twitter.

"Every time you take the ice, women and girls all over the hockey community are proud of YOU!," she said. "You represent so much more than the hateful words that were directed toward you."

"Clearly, the incident that happened on October 28 was completely unacceptable and the entire hockey community must take steps to ensure that any similar conduct will never happen again," the Mars club statement said. "We are hopeful that the attention this incident has drawn will shed light on the issues our female athletes face which must not be tolerated and that this attention will help with eliminating this type of conduct from our sport."

They blame the kids but I bet parents were joining in. No way 60 kids parents all heard their kids do that all match and not 1 did something about it.

I would say I wonder if they are proud of themselves, but they most likely are. Fucking deplorable sacks of shit, all of them.
