Classy kids. Your parents must be proud.

Throwing objects on the ice is very dangerous. People could get seriously hurt. If that were your children on the ice would you accept that behavior? Time to grow up. Be a leader not a follower.

A classic case of a few uncivilized individuals ruining a great time for so many others...I was there, and saw how excited and enthusiastic the kids were. The police had a tough job, for sure. Once the instigators left, the rest of the kids that remained spread out and were fine during the game.

What a bunch of clowns. Hey, lets act like a bunch of 2 year olds and through stuff out onto the ice! Way to show respect for the other school and it's players. Jerks.

This was an absolute disgrace. For Dr. White to say they lack specifics is ridiculous. THE VIDEO OF THE GAME IS ONLINE. You can easily pick out what students were there, I'm sure they probably are not angels in school either. Perhaps we should have chaperones sit in the student section, or perhaps our students should not be permitted to attend future games. While that would be unfair to the "good" kids, it seems like we have greater issues in the district than not attending a hockey game. Our test scores stink, teacher morale is low, and we have students that have no idea as to how to conduct themselves in public.

I think the issue is, did the district provide buses for students to attend the game? If so, the school does have some wiggle room. Pull the buses as an option. This wasn't just a case of poor behavior, kids from either team could have been seriously injured if they hit a coin on the ice.

Marie - No sure what test scores have to do with this story or teacher morale, but, whatever. Do you by chance have a website or way to verify these test scores? I'd actually like to see it.

Mike, you're probably right. It's also the "monkey see, monkey do" attitude.

Dean, just frustrating. Take a look at the district report card on the school website. I attended a city high school in the late 80's, early 90's. Our football games were nearly all held at South Stadium immediately after the school day to avoid behavior like what was displayed at this game. I would hate to see that happen here, just from what I have heard from my kids and neighbor kids, there are major behavior issues at the high school level that are not being addressed.

The fan section although rowdy and innappropriate with chants was a big part of CV's momentum and was a huge draw back to the team when the ENTIRE fan section was told to leave for the actions of few students.

I think you should write a story about the sickomcnasty cv rap squads.

Susan I'm a parent of three Cv students and am currently 29 years old. Couldn't be more proud

Alright, people are really over reacting to this. Let's look at some specifics from someone who was there:

1) The only objects thrown were pennies and a water bottle. While stupid and annoying, there's nothing "dangerous" about that. I'll admit it has to stop though.

2) Minus the object throwing, the "profanity" chants happen all the time at football games. Because of the size of the stadiums, you can't hear it as clearly.

3) These are high school kids. Do you honestly expect anything else?

4) It was awesome. The fans gave CV so much momentum in the first period. You have no clue how much that pumps the athletes up when over 100 kids are being crazy for you, especially in a rivalry game.

5) The fact is that everyone was kicked out over a few kids' wrongdoings.

6) Do they throw out everyone in the Consol Energy Center when people get in a fight or are being disruptive? No.

Couldn't imagine going anywhere else besides CV. Nobody cares what parents have to say about us.

Why would our games be moved to after school?? The only type of fighting that goes on in school is rap battling. And how does a grown women who has nothing better to do than comment on a blog all night have room to say our teachers have low morale.

I wonder how many moms commenting on this are milfs.

Was anybody arrested? Also, I am proud of the edjemacation I receive from Chartiers Valley. My teachers are phenomenal. This is the best edjemacation a kid could receive!

I'm sorry but once again, this goes back to parents instilling in their children how to behave properly in a public setting. And having attended NUMEROUS hockey games over the years for CV, both as a student and as a relative of players, I can say that often the parents of the players are not setting the best example by their language and behavior. It is absolutely inappropriate for anyone at a sporting event to behave in a manner that is offensive to those around them. Cursing and chanting obscenities is not an acceptable behavior, regardless of the sport or venue. It shows poor sportsmanship. There are plenty of other acceptable ways to rile up your sports team and show your support. Parents need to get more involved with what their kids are doing both in their sight and when they are out of sight. My parents would have KILLED me if I would've acted like that, and rightly so! Most parents are too worried about being their kids' friends than actually setting boundaries and following through with accountability. Step up and start acting like PARENTS. It's not the school's job (or the police) to discipline your child at a public event.

I play for the CV hockey team and nothing can describe the feeling of playing in front of those fans, they are dedicated fans and they are showing school spirit, Marie the bottle was thrown at the end of the period, no one was on the ice. As for the pennies I didn't see any. I hate the fact that all of the parents sit here and say its disgraceful, didn't you live once? Stop acting like we are such bad kids, they got excited for a hockey game, they arent commuting murder. As for the test scores and teacher morale, I go to cv and to be honest every teacher I've come in contact with has cared for me much like they would cared for a child. I'm extremely proud to go to cv and I am damn proud of that student section, if that fan section shows up every week then id be happy. They are showing school spirit and showing support for us. All of you parents can look down on us and say that we are bad kids but in the end we don't care what you have to say. Wether you like it or not the fans are apart of the team. They're dedicated and so proud of them.

For Chris-sake, to all the individuals who are talking trash on the student section... Get a life! You're an adult and discriminating teenagers. I bet you made it far in life?? Not.

As a retired CV hockey player who played with great legends on the team in 2010 2009 and 2008 I could only say that this makes me proud to see the amount of support that hockey deserves.. I've played in front of big crowds and it really gets the juices going. I would also like to thank "Dad" as the best coach I have ever had.

Dad was the best coach. I texted him the other day about the ejection. He said " it was bull**** and was uncalled for". I loved playing in front of huge crowds. Students have always gone crazy and it pumps us up. Hell I it wasn't for the student section in the 2011 playoffs we might not have pulled out the win in the double ot thriller against montour. I went to the game and was not ejected but god did I love to see how much support the hockey team has received throughout the past few years.

Dean, I challenge you to come to our 3rd period Rhetoric class so we can masterly debate you on this topic. Rob Ferrari is in this class and would love to debate you. Thanks.

Enough said...

It's truly ridiculous to see so many of you making a big deal out of something so harmless. There was an announcement made this morning concerning the behavior of the student section and objects will not be thrown on the ice again. However, I am a player for the CV Hockey team and I personally was having things thrown at me by the Bishop Canevin student section. They were also shouting profanity just as much but were not heard as clearly due to the number of fans being only a fraction of ours. The referees should have ejected both student section because they were equally guilty. If you were not at the game then you really have no idea what you're talking about. We as players are thankful for the support we are receiving and WE ARE PROUD to be colts. We are a family. "Rowdy."

I am a CV hockey player as well, and I have to agree with my teammate when I say that this is truly ridiculous. As players, we obviously do not advocate for our fans to be thrown out. We play the game with intensity and tenacity, but ultimately with respect. Respect for the game, our opponents, and their fans as well. We do not condone objects being thrown on the ice or profanity being shouted. However, what happened that night is being blown out of proportion. Not only because the events have been skewed, but because the Canevin fans were participating in the activities just as much. I am not placing the blame on them, we are all to blame. But this must be looked at logically. No one died, and no one was injured. The student section was thrown out for merely supporting their team. They had seven Mt. Lebanon police officers there, to do what? To escort a large group of students out the door? They were not throwing pipe bombs or flares, it was a plastic bottle and a few coins. I have personally played in numerous games over my hockey career which were much worse than that. I am not placing the blame on the police or the opposing fans. I am just asking for us all to take a step back and reevaluate the situation.

You know what dean? What you are doing here is immature, don't question my maturity. You are listening to one side of the story. You have every right to your own opinion but to sit here and act like when you were in high school you never went to a sporting event and yelled profanity. The bottle being thrown onto the ice was directed towards Marie because she stated that someone could have been injured which was not possible because as I stated the bottle was thrown at the end of the period. You asked "is this what living is?" Yes, it is. Why are you acting like you were such a perfect teenager? It's so hypocritical for people like you to look down on us for things like this.

Do you remember what is was like to be a teenager or was it that long ago? Wanna hear something that's immature? A 40 year old man calling teenagers "immature idiots", that's immature. That game was my senior project, I sold shirts for 2 weeks, I bought pink laces and tape for the entire team, and I advertised this game for a while. If anyone should be mad it should be me, but I'm not. I could not be more proud of the student section. Another thing, the other teams student section has done this to us and we don't complain, it's a part of the game. The fans do this in professional sports as well, so why is it so wrong for us to do it? I'm gonna end this post with this, who are you to tell me that they embarrassed me, they didn't embarrass or disrespect me at all, they showed support wether you agree with it or not and I could not be more proud of them

Shut up rob

This is very classless. Something I'd expect from Flyer fans. There is a big difference between cheering your team on and being a complete scumbag. I am embarrassed to say I am a CV Hockey Alum. Our school has gone down hill over the past 4-5 years, and it shows.

Cv hockey is the best it's been in four years. So your wrong ken burns

Dean, the Canevin students were amazed by our fan section. They were tweeting and telling us it was something you had to see to believe. The fans are what hype up the players. If you ever played a sport in High School you should know what it is like, the adrenaline you feel when there's people cheering and screaming for you, there is no better feeling. Our test scores do not reflect on how we behave at a sporting event. As for the bottle, a young freshman threw it and we should not all be blamed for one wrong doing. Dean, please keep your opinions to yourself. You are a grown man and there's no need for this to be blown so much out of proportion.

Ken, CV Hockey has made great strides in the last four-five years. This includes three consecutive playoff appearances, back to back Penguin Cup semifinal,, and this year we could possibly be stronger than ever before. Down hill? Some alumnist you are.

I am in no way condoning the behavior of the student section at the hockey game, but I disagree with the statements that the CV students embarrassed the hockey team and the school. They did no such thing. They only embarrassed THEMSELVES. THEY made the choice to engage in the inappropriate behaviors. It seems to be convenient for adults to place the blame on parents or schools for the inappropriate behavior of children and young adults, but what about society as a whole? Again, I am not justifying the way that the CV student section acted, but they were likely emulating the behavior of ADULTS who engage in the same behaviors at professional sports games. (A recent example that comes to mind is the playoff game between the Cardinals and Braves last month.) We as parents and educators make our best attempts to teach our children right from wrong. But as our teenagers approach adulthood and gain more freedom to make decisions on their own, they are likely to make some bad decisions along the way and will need to experience the consequences as such. I challenge any adult reading this to tell me that they never made some not-so-hot choices during their high school years.

And as far as disrepect goes, my opinion is that the Mt. Lebanon police showed blatant disrespect by ejecting the entire student section. I think it is safe to assume that not ALL of the students were involved in the inappropriate behavior, thus causing some innocent students to be ejected. The police should have DONE THEIR JOBS by maintaining close proximity to the student section to ensure that there would be no more trouble, and/or taking the time to identify the SPECIFIC students who were causing trouble and eject them. Isn't that what police do when ADULTS act up at professional sports games? I've never seen an entire section be ejected in those instances...

If you read my comment, it doesn't say anything about the skill of the players. What has gone down hill is the school. And in reality, high school hockey is about who has the best player ( or players). Evident to your season last year. But that's a topic for another day. The fact is the students acted classless. There's no disputing that. The only thing you can dispute is how many actually acted inappropriately.

I don't understand why there is a big discussion about this. Life isn't fair. The behavior of a small number of students got the entire section kicked out. That's life, deal with it. Maybe they won't do it again next time. I've seen amateur games where the bleachers have been cleared 100% on both sides. If you disagree, move to Philly, their fan base needs more people like you.

This is far more insignificant than everyone is making it. You're all wasting your time because this isn't an important issue.

I was at the game and it was by far the best and biggest student section that i have ever seen out of all sport and it was the most enthusiastic i am proud to say i am a CV student and proud to see how much we support one another

Then why are you participating in the "big discussion??" What happened at the game was completely out of line, but it happened. It's life. Deal with it. And what does Philiadelphia have to do with all of this?

Exactly Patti. You said exactly what I said? Obviously you don't pay attention to the NHL but the Flyers have, in my opinion and probably most Yinzers, the most classless fans in all of sports.

I think what needs to be stressed here is that there are better ways to show your school and team support than what some demonstrated at this event. Paint yourselves, wear school colors, enthusiastically cheer for your team...just keep the profanity aside. No one would fault students for going ballistic cheering for their team if they did so in a respectful manner. That goes for the parents as well, who often forget that they are at a STUDENT event and they act just as immature by engaging in the same behavior that they are condemning.

Grown adults are putting substantial time and thought into arguing with adolescents. That is pathetic.

This is an excerpt from the CV school paper. It's one thing to be excited for your team but this showed no class.

The energetic crowd may have upset parents and onlookers with crude, vulgar chants that taunted Canevin fans and players.  It is typical to occasionally hear profanity within cheers of a high school fan section at any event, however “Puckfest” crossed the line with anti-christian chants directed towards their opponents at Bishop Canevin, which is a Catholic private school.
After what appeared to be a heated argument between one of the Chartiers Valley coaches and an official, a police officer asked a group of rowdy fans to leave the arena, but within minutes, the fan section was full again.  They returned, still yelling profanity and even ridiculing specific players on Bishop Canevin’s team.  Once again, students were asked to leave, except this time the entire student section was cleared.  The Chartiers Valley “Puckfest” was outraged with these actions and several students actually launched a full garbage bin down the staircase that leads up to the stands.  

I am a student for bishop Canevin. I thought what CV's student section did was awesome. In fact I was doing the same, shouting profanities at their players and their fan section. I'm sorry to all but things aren't the way they use to be. I'm a 16 year old male, a junior in high school, and yes I'm old enough to know better but too young to care. You could see the momentum change when CV "left" (most kids stayed and just sat down a section over) as we went from being down 4-0 to a comeback victory 6-5. We're high school kids KIDS

CV hockey has been insane since the days of ED SCHULTZ. High School hockey is a special thing in the high school sports scene. No one was arrested for drugs, alcohol, or any other deviant act. LONG LIVE CV HOCKEY. If you do not like the way the game is played or the fans at it, STAY HOME.

What kind of security will be in place for the next colt hockey game
