UPDATE: Hockey Dad Ordered to Pay $320

The hockey dad that confronted and yelled at one of his son's opponents was ordered to pay $320, which will cover three trips the boy had to make to a psychologist after the confrontation. "A Cumberland County Superior Court jury found Dr. Demetri Antoniou liable for intentionally causing emotional distress to the young player, Jordan Hale, but did not find his actions amounted to assault." The boy's lawyers said that the damages were not high enough to act as a sufficient warning to other parents. Hopefully, parents will be motivated by the desire not to shame their children and will remember that these are just games.
