Quebec Superior Court has given the green light to a class-action lawsuit against the Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League and its teams over allegations of hazing abuse. The lawsuit, filed by a former hockey star, seeks $15 million in damages and targets the league, its franchises, and the Canadian Hockey League.
MONTREAL — Quebec Superior Court has authorized a class-action lawsuit against the Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League and its teams over alleged hazing abuse .
"It was very, very important and I think quite emotional both for him and for me as well, it was very welcome news to receive," Stolow said. "But it is only by examining the merits of all the allegations of fact that it will be possible to detect or not the existence of such joint liability with regard to all or only certain teams."
He played six regular-season games with the Saguenéens before joining the Drummondville Voltigeurs, where he alleges he faced more abuse. He said Voltigeurs rookies covered themselves in shampoo to make it difficult for veterans to grab and assault them in the shower.
