BREAKING: Entire Hockey Roster Gets Suspended as Investigation Ensues

The American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA) will see one of its men's teams take a seat on the sidelines for the upcoming 2023-2024 season, and it's not by choice.

The University of Northern Colorado's ACHA hockey team is facing a season-long suspension due to an ongoing investigation into the team's conduct. The allegations include underage drinking and hazing incidents that have prompted the university to take this drastic action.

The team expressed their stance on the matter, stating,

Despite the allegations, the team remains committed to appealing the suspension, believing that the punishment does not align with their actions. The appeals process will be closely watched by both the university and ACHA officials.

The incident sheds light on a lingering issue within hockey culture, with hazing and excessive partying being remnants of the past. The ACHA is dedicated to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for all players and is actively addressing such concerns.

For now, the Colorado Bears will have to sit out the upcoming season as the university's investigation and appeals process unfolds.
