The entire senior class also approached UM administrator Josh Richelew after the 2021-22 season to express their concerns, the report shows. The team made the Frozen Four before losing in the national semifinals to University of Denver.
“Senior student athletes on the hockey team told Mr. Richelew that (Pearson) would dock playing time for raising complaints and described their fears of suffering the same damage to their future careers that they believed (Pearson) had inflicted on Mr. Mann,” the report shows.
Doesn’t sound great. Would be unfortunate for the program as it has reestablished itself as a national power, and has another good freshman class, but universities don’t overlook these things anymore, especially bullying of female staff members.
