Former New York Rangers forward Daniel Carcillo and retired WHL forward Garrett Taylor have begun a class action lawsuit against the Canadian Hockey League (CHL), its leagues, and teams.
Per Carcillo’s post on Twitter, the lawsuit is on behalf of underage minors who suffered “violent hazing, physical and sexual assault and psychological trauma” while playing major junior hockey in Canada.
Carcillo played in the OHL (Ontario Hockey League) with the Sarnia Sting and Mississauga IceDogs between 2002 and 2005 before moving up to the AHL with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins in the 2005-06 season.
