Manitoba couple: NHL wants us to pay $400 ticket for breastfeeding baby

WINNIPEG - A pair of Manitoba parents are in a fight with the National Hockey League over their breastfeeding baby.

Clifford Anderson and Shalyn Meady have already spent $800 on two seats for this year’s Heritage Classic.

But Anderson says the NHL has said if they want to bring their six-month-old son, William, to the outdoor hockey game this October, they’ll have to pony up an extra $400 for a third seat.

The couple don’t believe they should have to buy another ticket for a baby who can’t even sit on his own yet.

They say they are being put in the position of either coughing up the extra cash or not going at all, and they think that’s wrong.
