To show support for the single female athlete on this high school's hockey team, hundreds of community members attended Monday night's game. This comes after a recent game in which some students shouted vulgar chants at her, according to a CNN affiliate.
Students at the arena, located an hour outside of Pittsburgh, yelled vulgar chants toward Mars High School's female goalie, who broke down on the ice, according to CNN affiliate WPXI.The behavior from the students on the opposing team, Armstrong High School, has since led the league to take disciplinary actions against the school.
The resilience of the female goalie even gained attention from Brianne McLaughlin-Bittle, a two-time Olympian and goalie for the US Women's Hockey Team, who attended the game."It's pretty, pretty cool," she told WPXI."Every time she makes a save this place goes nuts!"The demeaning and sexist taunts about the goalie and her body from some fans at the October 28 game have brought consequences for Armstrong students and their hockey team.
