I grew up around hockey guys, the majority of them were immature sexist, masoginistic assholes. Also the onboarding rituals were disturbing. One guy was proud to tell me that for new members all the other team members would cum on a piece of bread and force the new guy to eat it as initiation. Like WTF. So the sexual abuse allegations are zero surprise to me.

I must have missed that episode of Hometown Hockey.

Hockey in general needs to be reimagined, reinvented for todays world
