More than a dozen former hockey players have sued the University of Michigan, alleging their coach and other staff were aware of sexual hazing including 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 Wednesday in federal court in Detroit.
