Stewart detailed an account of an unnamed current NHL coach who repeatedly verbally abused two minor league officials for disagreeing with the calls. The NHL coach has not faced any consequences for his actions, but the former NHL official, who he accompanied, received a 30 day ban from minor hockey and a 2 year ban from entering an official's room.
In berating these two officials, who were as young as 17 years old, the NHL coach made sure to intimidate and establish power over them with the age-old narcissist's mantra: «Do you know who I am?»
Frankly, this behavior from an NHL coach to minor league hockey officials, who are minors themselves, is reprehensible. Stewart outlines in his Twitter thread that for now the NHL coach has escaped a punishment, but it won't elude him forever. The coach will at least be named in the near future, and will face public criticism for his actions, at least.
