Players tell school president they will boycott all practices and games if head coach Candice Moxley continues in her role following a third-party investigation into allegations of misconduct.
Western University women’s hockey team players wrote in a letter to school president Alan Shepard that they will boycott all practices and games if head coach Candice Moxley continues in her role following a “We, the Players of Western’s Women’s Hockey team, will be boycotting any practices and games that Coach Moxley is involved in,” the players wrote in the three-page letter. “The concerns we brought to the university should not be taken lightly.
Moxley declined to comment on Friday. School spokeswoman Marcia Steyaert didn’t respond to a request for comment. Complaints to the school included allegations that Moxley did not act following multiple complaints from players that they were being sexually harassed by Watson. Western University kinesiology professor MacIntosh Ross, who recently spearheaded an effort asking the school to commit to an independent review of its athletic department, said Western is making a mistake by refusing to be transparent.
