Grieving Family Files Lawsuit Against Hockey Team After Their Son Tragically Passes Away at Hockey Camp

When parents send their children to hockey camps, they don't expect them to never come back home. Unfortunately, this nightmare became a reality for Greg and Susan Teague, whose 17-year-old son, Ben Teague, a member of the Oakville Rangers in the Ontario Junior Hockey League, never returned from a pre-season camp in September 2019.

According to a recent report by TSN's Rick Westhead, the Teagues have filed a $1 million lawsuit against the Oakville Rangers Hockey Club and others for negligence and wrongful death. The lawsuit comes after the parents received a phone call that their son had admitted to drinking and was rushed to the hospital, where he later passed away.

"Our @CTVW5 story on their search for answers about how their 17-year-old son Benjamin died at a team event in 2019," tweeted Westhead.




The death of Ben Teague is a tragedy that no parent should have to endure, and it's essential that the Teagues get the answers they deserve. Those responsible must be held accountable for their actions, and the silence surrounding hockey culture must come to an end. Measures should be put in place to prevent similar incidents from happening again.


As a society, it's vital to create a safe and supportive environment for our youth to engage in sports and activities without fear of harm. Hopefully, the Teagues will find the closure they need, and Ben's memory will serve as a reminder of the importance of protecting our children.
