If you were the official involved, what action, if any, would you want the league to take against the parent that threw the marker at you?

I would report it to the league and I know they would take care of it, probably suspend the parent. If the chain guy was replaced when he should have been this might now have occured.

And what if the league were to say, "What does the HL involved want us to do?" Then what would you say?

Let's see.... alternatives.... 1) ban the parent from attending games.
2) explain to the parent that anymore misbehavior will result in his child not participating.
3) assault and battery charges... probably too late now.
4) if parent wants his child to remain an active participant, then the parent must officiate 10 games not involving his child's team.
....
you get the idea... seems unfair to punish the child for his parent... so probably best to affect the parent directly.
... the league could have parents sign a code of conduct statement prior to their child's participation. This is done in some places, I know. The code of conduct should spell out what is expected of parents in general and actions that result from non-compliance with the code.
