I was at a tournament recently where the other teams fans had cowbells. Everytime their team had something good happen the cowbells would go off. I'm not sure if I loved it or hated it. If our team had thought of bringing cowbells or airhorns, between the two of our teams, we could have created a real racket. I wonder if at some point they frown on artificial noisemakers like that?

The team was from canada. Is the cowbell kind of a canadian thing?

It's mostly a north thing. Even the Americans up there rattle cowbells or bottles half-full of rocks. The South African hockey team fans prefer the vuvuzela.

Most tournament don't allow cowbells or other forms of noise makers and it's in the rules.

Most tournaments frown on drinking in the parking lot before the game; that doesn't seem to slow the canucks.

North Branch and Pine City used to have some "cowbell" parents.

Correct...The moms wore them arond there neck

Whew for a second I thought you were ripping on me.

I put my pants on one leg at a time, just like everyone else.

I much prefer my COWBELL ringing right before a pitch in the 7th inning of any YOUTH baseball game that is close.

Yes, I did witness once a parent with a Cowbell they were ringing whenever her team would send a new batter up!

This did occur in Minnesota and I'm sure she was one of our finest trailer home residents!

After two innings of this incessant ringing, our head coach told their coach we weren't playing anymore unless the lady stopped the loud ringing. Funny stuff. She did stop and was last scene at a liqour store in Hilltop picking up a bottle of MD 20/20 grape wine!

Do you still get a free plastic keg cup with that purchase?

Interesting. What purpose did this fine lady think she was serving? I am afraid that the only thing she was doing was bringing tremendous embarrassment to her child. Even her kid's teammates must have been teasing him/her. "So, that's your mom, huh?"
Some parents are truly clueless.

Back in my kid's mite days, I would run the clock and a mom from another team always used to sit behind the scorer's table when we played her son's team - 2 or 3 times a year for three years.... I hated it.

Then, when their association couldn't field a squirt team, they sent their squirts to our association and our kids were on the same team. Now, the cowbells were going off when our team scored....I till hated it though. Fortunately, she stopped bringing them after a month or two.

As Barriero would say "total RUBES!"

Youth hockey games would be boring without the crowd.

More cowbell, more spray tan, more bling, more AAA clothing.....watching the fans, it's all another form of the entertainment for me.
