Girl beats up boys in high school hockey fight

By BOB COOK

As a father of daughters, I’m conflicted as to how I feel about this. Fighting is bad. But I couldn’t help but be filled with pride if No. 07 were my daughter whomping the crud out of a male hockey player who tried to push her around.

A scene from Exeter Township vs. Governor Mifflin, Pennsylvania high school hockey, posted to YouTube Nov. 26.

Is this the same sort of mixed signal like how guns are bad, but a gun in the hand of a woman is empowering?
