The CHL says it will form an independent panel to examine the organization's hazing and bullying policies.

TORONTO — The Canadian Hockey League says it is "deeply troubled" by abuse allegations in a class-action lawsuit filed by two of its former players and plans to form a panel to deal with any current issues.

A statement from Koskie Minsky LLP, the law firm representing Carcillo and Taylor, said the action "is on behalf of children aged 15-17 who were sexually and physically assaulted, hazed and otherwise abused while away from home and playing for CHL teams." "We are deeply troubled by the allegations in the recently announced class action, many of which are historic in nature and we believe are not indicative of the leading experience our players receive in the CHL today," the CHL said in its statement. "Regardless of the timing, we are taking the claims very seriously as the protection of our players has been and will always be our primary concern.

"We welcome the findings of the Independent Review Panel to ensure we are providing the safest player experience in hockey and amateur sport," the CHL said.
