Pee Wee Hockey Coach Gets 15 Days in Jail for This Handshake Stunt

Pee Wee Hockey Coach Martin Tremblay Gets 15 Days in Jail for Tripping 13 Year Old Player

48-year-old Martin Tremblay of Vancouver has been sentenced to 15 days in jail and 12 months of probation, according to the National Post, after tripping a child during a postgame handshake.

The resulting crash toppled two children, ages 10 and 13, the latter injuring his wrist as a result.

“The tripping of the boys was akin to a cowardly sucker punch on an unsuspecting victim,” Richmond provincial court Judge Patrick Chen condemned.

Local reports indicate Tremblay had been antagonizing the 13-year-old throughout the game, calling him “twinkle toes” and insulting his skating ability to the point the child was in tears.

After being tripped, the child reportedly got up and tried to swing his hockey stick at the coach, starting a minor brawl. Tremblay left the ice after flipping his middle finger to the crowd.

Here’s video of the trip:

Tremblay’s attorney says his client has paid dearly for the incident, losing his wife and a number of construction contracts since originally pleading guilty back in November.

“I think we can take away that adults get carried away with minor hockey and the intensity, it’s way too serious,” attorney Bob Bellows remarked. “He put in years and years coaching hockey, he put in years and years as a scout master, and that’s all over because of one incident when he was off his antidepressants for three weeks.”

But the judge wasn’t buying it: “Win or lose, this was just a game…This was the last place anyone would have expected an assault to take place, and the very last place one would have expected an adult to assault a child.”

  That is the most pathetic act I have ever seen! The guy needs serious help and should never be able to coach again. He shamed himself and his family. Coward!

  I think he should have been given the choice…30 day’s in a regular prison or 10 minutes in a room tied to a post while the two youngsters beat the **** out of him with hockey sticks….probably good thing I’m not a judge.

Aaaaaannnnnnnd, as predicted, I knew I’d see Obama mentions a-plenty on a completely non-Obama story. Ridiculous… the obsession with this man is utterly ridiculous.

The parents who witnessed this cowardly aggressive act against a child should have collectively beat him with the hockey sticks and knocked his teeth out with a ice skate.

What areal BIG MAN to trip an unsuspecting kid. He needs his teeth smashed down his liberal throat. He looks like he’s about 5-foot-2. A little pissant coward with a tiny penis. He should be kneeling and praying whatever God he believes in that the kid he tripped wasn’t my son or I’d be the one in jail and he’d be in the Emergency Room.

  There are good and bad competitors and there is good an bad capitalists. Those who use capitalism to make their community, state and country stronger are the honorable individuals who reflect its power. Those who hide behind it to exploit workers, ignore sensible regulations and cheat on their taxes and take advantage of legal loopholes disgrace themselves, their families, their communities and their country. It is the difference between optimizing profits while having integrity, ethics and honor and maximizing profits and loosing all humanity.

I have to say, I can’t believe all the pansy-ass whiners on this story. It’s hockey. The 13 year old should have gotten up, took his gloves off, and started pounding that guy. (As well as the rest of the team, including the coaches.) Instead, whiny parents rush in : “Oh, did you hurt your wrist?”

And we wonder what happened to the real men. What happened was overbearing parents.

  Wow, a kid gets his wrist broken because of this idiot, and you would have the kid’s parents just let bygones be bygones. Yeah, that’s the way society should operate – 13 year old kids vs. 40 year old men.

  Ok tiger. It is hockey not a street fight and there are actual skills involved as demonstrated when the Montreal Canadians kicked Philly’s broad street bullies in the 1070′s. This is a 13 year old kid who should be encouraged and developed by everyone involved in the sport, including the opposing coach outside of the game. This guy is exactly what is wrong with today’s sports. Instead of teaching kids to be tougher or more aggressive he shows them how to take a cheap shot.

Jail, really? Who get out when this idiot goes in? a rapist? wife abuser? Do you really think there is a endless amount of jail cells? The parents of the other team should have kicked his ass a little and then that be the end of it. If you touched my kid I’m thinking about 5 hits to the face should be good. Maybe 2 good rib shots. Justice served and real criminals stay in jail.

  First, you confuse jail with prison. Second, how have you come to the conclusion that this guy getting a few days in jail means a rapist is going to be set free? That’s one of those Obamao strawman arguments – there are only two options: 1) he doesn’t go to jail and 2) he goes to jail and a rapist is freed. Seriously, there are other options that are far more likely like the guy goes to jail and no one is set free.

This is not a criticism of the kid’s father, but at least 4 seconds of video elapsed after the trip. If that happened to my kid and I’d be on the ice pummeling the coach in half that time.

Off his meds?

Do they have medications that stop people from being vindictive bullies? If they do, I can suggest a couple of prospective patients…

This guy should not be allowed to have any profession dealing with children again. How pathetically immature. Lucky it wasn’t my son. Just think of how that kid will feel about himself and other adults now, especially those who are entrusted to Lead and Develop young ones. Wonder if he treated his own children this way, too…

I have no sympathy. He chose to go off his meds. He can’t blame the condition if he’s not treating the condition. He was irresponsible. There are consequences for that.

It’s even worse. The kid got his wrist injured so you know he had to wait 6 months to get X-ray. I would laugh but, it’s about to go down here too. Come to think of it, maybe I’ll go “shake hands” with some Democrats.

If that were my son, I would be the one in jail. I would beat that coach to within an inch of his worthless life. Then again.. I bet I could find a jury that would let me walk.

  LOL i was thinking the same thing. Hog tie his a$$ in the middle of the ice ring and let that hockey team take turns smacking him with their sticks.. Guess this kid don’t have a dad. If that was my kid they would still be trying to remove a hockey stick…

Sentence deserved. Another fat-assed wannabe/never was who lives vicariously through the young athletes that he is supposed to be mentoring. Hey coach, do a few “push a ways” from the table and stay away from young people, you’re a loser.
