From what I hear, hockey parents are the worst, at least around here. I think it probably has something to do with the sheer amount of time/money invested in hockey. Skates, uniforms, sticks aren't cheap, especially because most of it has to be replaced often as the kids grow. And ice time isn't cheap either. So you get the "I'm paying $3500/year for my kid to play hockey, so he better be the best, and if he isn't it's the coaches/ref's fault" mentality.
I've never officiated hockey though, so it's just a guess.
