Hazing involved 12-year-olds

It's the story that never stops: Hazing in sports.
From now-pro hockey players stuffing naked major junior hockey players naked into a bus washroom while coaches ignored it to heavy bottles tied to boys' genitals, minor hockey players too often continue to think sexual exploitation is a team bonding technique.
They should be content with hitting the showers.
The latest example of hazing gone public - although the details from the school are not public and transparent enough to change the world - comes from Montreal where a school hockey team with boys as young as 12 was caught in a hazing ritual. Maybe it was an "elephant walk" where naked boys parade in public in a line holding each other's private parts. Maybe it was forced streaking.
CBC has a story, and note how the team coach failed to deal with it.
