Former University of Michigan hockey players say they were sexually hazed decades ago

More than a dozen ex-players are suing the University of Michigan, alleging coach and staff were aware of abuse

More than a dozen former hockey players are suing the University of Michigan, alleging their coach and other staff were aware of sexual hazing that included the forced shaving of their genitals and other abuse by teammates decades ago.

The abuse was ritualized, meticulously planned and sadistic ... Enduring sexual abuse was required to be a member of the Michigan men's ice hockey team," attorney Michael Pitt said in a sex discrimination lawsuit filed on Wednesday in federal court in Detroit.
