The chants from among a group of 50 to 60 students were captured on video posted to social media.
Mars coach Steve Meyers said his goalie, who has started in all five of the team's games this season, was in tears after the second period. She and her family have declined to comment, and The Associated Press is not naming her in an effort to maintain her privacy and shield her from further abuse.
Armstrong's principal, Kirk Lorigan, said school officials were “appalled and embarrassed” and he was “disgusted” that parents and security guards did nothing to stop the chants. He apologized to the player, the team and the Mars community, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported. High school hockey in western Pennsylvania is not a school-sponsored sport, but a club sport run by parents and boosters at each school.
