Armstrong High School students banned from hockey games for yelling sexual chants at female goalie

Students at Armstrong High School, north of Pittsburgh, were banned from hockey games and may face further discipline after directing sexually-explicit chants at an opposing female goalie Thursday, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

A group of roughly 50-60 students from the school reportedly repeated the chant, which was directed at a female goalie on the Mars hockey team. The goalie has started all five games for the team. The goalie — whose name was not made public by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette — was reportedly in tears following the second period.

Armstrong principal Kirk Lorigan said he was "appalled and embarrassed" at the Armstrong students' actions.
