On July 5, 2002, a catastrophic incident took place—an incident that tainted the youth sport world with blood forever. ... Trivial body checking between some of the youth players caused this unfortunate death. Michael Costin’s fatality has been devastating to the reputation of organized youth sports; and violence among the adults is still a major ailment in yesterday and today’s youth sports. Several other assaults on parents and coaches have taken place even after his [Costin’s] death, causing this already scarred reputation to continue deteriorating. Brooke deLench of “Did the Death of a Massachusetts Ice Hockey Dad Make a Difference?” believes that the root of this violence lies in the structural system of youth sports and not the parents—the “…parents are a symptom…not the disease itself.” Brooke deLench asks whether this death has altered the way youth sports are operated and if it [Costin’s death] has become a “turning point” for them [youth sports].
