Former NHL left winger Daniel Carcillo and ex-Western Hockey League player Garrett Taylor have filed a class-action lawsuit against the Canadian Hockey League, the Western Hockey League, the Ontario Hockey League and the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, alleging that players ages 15-17 were "routinely victims to hazing, bullying, physical and verbal harassment, physical assault, sexual harassment, and sexual assault."
Ken Campbell of The Hockey News summarized the lawsuit's allegations on Thursday:
"According the lawsuit, players in the class were, among other things, forced to masturbate in front of teammates and coaches and forced to sexually assault teammates, to consume saliva, urine, semen and feces of other players and to sexually engage with animals.
