Booze a likely factor in brawl between parents at children’s hockey game: RCMP
OSOYOOS, B.C. — The RCMP say alcohol is believed to have been a key factor in a brawl that broke out between parents of opposing hockey teams at a children’s tournament in southern British Columbia.
The melee erupted in the arena stands between spectators cheering on squads of 10 and 11 year olds during an annual spring hockey tournament in Osoyoos.
RCMP Constable Jason Bayda says one woman appeared to have been inadvertently struck in the face by her husband while she was trying to break up the fight.
Bayda says neither she nor anyone else involved is willing to press charges.
