This guy, this is a remarkable guy. His name is Corey Simms and he goes to St. John's Junior Hockey League games in Newfoundland and Labrador and heckles the opposing teams. His team is the St. John's Caps and if you think you're coming into the Thunderdome and not getting your shit served, you've got another thing coming. This guy actually appeared on the news without blurring his face or altering his voice to defend himself, too.

One team, the Conception Bay Junior Renegades, actually forfeited a game because they didn't want to deal with his act. Kevin Tobin, an executive with the team says several teams are tired of him and he's been banned from a number of rinks.
Simms denies that, as well as the accusation that he threatened to rip a woman's head off and clean the ice with it. Simms says he's not a terrorist knife-wielder like those jamokes in ISIS, but that's basically the only thing he denies. Corey Simms draws the line at terrorism, but anything else is on the table. He goes after the hockey moms, who he says should go back to knitting, and he goes after the players themselves. The players are generally 18-22 years old so they should be able to handle a little ribbing from a middle-aged goon."There was a player injured and was taken off the ice and he was standing near the boards, blocking the path of taking the player to the dressing room."
Tobin said it's taking a toll on some of the young people at the games. He recalled seeing one child, aged seven or eight, with tears in his eyes.
Look how satisfied he is with that barb. Tiddlywinks! I don't even know what that is but it sounds ridiculous and emasculating; well played! It's an amazing moment, really. Corey Simms has just said the most clever thing he will ever say and it came during a voluntary interview wherein he defends verbally abusing junior hockey players, parents, and small children.h/t Deadspin
