Former Canadian Junior Hockey Players File Lawsuit Against CHL

Daniel Carcillo and Garrett Taylor were 15 and 17 years old, respectively, when they were “routinely victims to hazing, bullying, physical and verbal harassment, physical assault, sexual harassment, and sexual assault” as junior hockey players in Canada in the early 2000s, alleges a class-action lawsuit against the Canadian Hockey League, the organization that oversees the three major junior hockey leagues in Canada.

The lawsuit was launched three days after a former junior hockey player alleged he was forced to do cocaine in a bathroom as a 16-year-old rookie in 2016. Former Kitchener Rangers forward Eric Guest tweeted a video on Monday alleging an older teammate forced him and another rookie to try cocaine.
