Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, has suspended 19 of the 24 players on the women’s ice hockey team due to a reported hazing incident at a campus party in September. The five team members who were not suspended, are thought to be the first-year students who were the subject of the hazing. As a result of the suspension, the hockey team has forfeited all its remaining games for the season. Before the decision to end the hockey team’s season, the women’s hocky team had a record of two wins, eight losses, and two ties.
While details of the hazing were not released, a university spokesperson stated that “it involved excessive drinking, intimidation, humiliation, personal disrespect, in short, bullying.”
