Hockey hazing alleged

Link

 Excerpt:

The incident happened earlier this week when Alex Sotnyk, a player the Kitchener Rangers had supplied to the Jr. B Kitchener Dutchmen, found the words “F—ing Yankee” written on his stick.

Sotnyk retaliated by putting hair conditioner and tape remover in the gear of some of his Dutchmen teammates.

Sotnyk, who has returned home to New Jersey, also told teammates he urinated in another player’s skates.

He later denied it.

Now, the Dutchmen have called a meeting today to discuss, among other things, the future of coach-general manager Geoff Haddaway.
