CTV News has learned more about the incident at a northern Ontario minor league hockey game that escalated from a verbal fight between two moms to assault charges.
A woman who spoke to CTVNewsNorthernOntario.ca and asked to remain anonymous said she was at the Marcel and Jane Labbé Arena in Sturgeon Falls with her kids on Saturday when the altercation happened.
During the U18 game between the Markstay-Warren Wolves and Don's Butcher Shop West Nipissing Stings, one of the moms from the Stings team allegedly started 'chirping' the other team, making comments about how it took them four years to finally beat them.
The Wolves won 5-1.
"The victim is known to cause verbal altercations during her children's hockey games," the witness said.
"The 'victim' harassed the opposing team the whole last period and was told repeatedly to quiet down and leave them alone."
Fans from Markstay-Warren asked her to stop and leave them alone, she said.
