This, although I don't have an issue with 'Thank God I' a Country Boy' specifically. My wife is a big Petes fan, and that song is enough of a part of the Peterborough Petes tradition that she never fails to amuse me.

Parents who are unable to recognize and control their children's poor behavior in public deserve to be ejected as well imho.

In my whole life of watching hockey live hockey, I've never complained about nor have I ever been bothered by obnoxious drunk people. I think they add to the atmosphere. On the other hand, I'm forever having to get our security guard to get the damned kids who kick our seats to settle down. Oddly, they're never the same kids (I think we scare them off), but we're always ending up with kids behind us. We sit in the front row for a number of reason, one of which being that it makes it impossible for the boy to be a seat kicker.
