A 45-year-old West Vancouver hockey dad has been charged with assault for an off-ice scuffle that broke out between fans at a minor hockey game March 6.
Christian Patrick Jarvis has been charged in the case but has not yet entered a plea.
The Hollyburn Huskies AAA bantam team was facing a visiting Semiahmoo team at Hollyburn Country Club for a playoff game when an argument between Jarvis and a 67-year-old Langley man got physical.
West Vancouver police said at the time of the incident that family members from opposite sides in the playoff game had been arguing when Patrick allegedly grabbed the other man’s clothing and began to shake him.
The Langley man was reportedly left with some bruising and soreness. Patrick was arrested.
There was just over a minute left in the game when a brawl broke out between the 13- and 14-year-olds on the ice. The incident in the upstairs viewing area happened shortly after and the referee pulled the plug on the game.
In January, 57-year-old hockey dad, Terry Mukhtiar Singh Litt, was handed a conditional discharge after pleading guilty to threatening a 10-year-old member of his son’s hockey team following a game at Karen Magnussen arena.
