Was hugging people and even kissing their children. Once the game started this guy started up with the most over the top insane stuff I have ever heard at a sporting event. I remember at one point when the action was down near us he started screaming "hey, Referee, I hope your mother gets bone cancer and it's fucking painful . . . " People were laughing at this and I was looking around like are you kidding me. Other times it was screaming about how this player has just got done blowing another player in the locker room and was still wearing some of it. I kid you not. I have no issue hurling curses with the best of them, but this was some over the top -- in front of children, and their parents who were howling like it was the funniest thing they ever heard. Then some girl lifted her shirt up big cheers and I figured it was time to get the check. Craziness.

I've seen similar at my son's hockey games, one in particular, where the parents went behind the opposing teams goalie and just started giving it to him.
Yelling, screaming, name calling, the whole gamut.
These same parents, prior to our game, ended up getting into fist to cuffs with other parents. The police were called and a couple arrests were made.
Not saying your situation is the same, but in all the years of my son playing hockey, this group was, by and far, the worst group we had ever experienced. They were all the same and likely all from the same town/village?
Their kids were dirty players as well, out there slew footing, crosschecking, hitting kids from behind, etc, which, after seeing the way their parents conducted themselves, wasn't surprising to see.
