A strong statement came from Armstrong County commissioners in response to a video that surfaced of students shouting vulgar names and phrases at a female high school hockey player during a game last week.

County commissioners say it will not happen again. They’re calling it a zero-tolerance policy. Effective immediately, no students from grades 7 through 12 are allowed at the Belmont Complex for River Hawk varsity or middle school games.

The Pennsylvania Interscholastic Hockey League also announced disciplinary measures. Armstrong students in 9th through 12th grade are not allowed to attend their school’s varsity hockey games for the rest of the season, including playoffs.
