      Young

      headlines
     
     
      across
      the

      last

      for

      the
      wrong
      reasons.
      The
      practice
      of
     
     
      hazing
      in
      sports
      has
      once
      again
      made
     
     
      its
      appearance
      in
      the
      public
      eye
      after
     
     
      incidents
      in
      Windsor,
      Ontario
      and
     
     
      Montreal
      made
      themselves
      public.
     
    

    
     
      In
      Windsor,
      the
      Ontario
      Hockey
     
     
      League’s
      Spitfires
      find
      themselves
      in
      hot
     
     
      water
      after
      highly-touted
      rookie
      Akim
     
     
      Aliu
      and
      Flyers
      prospect
      Steve
      Downie
     
     
      scrapped
      in
      practice.
      The
      fight
      is
     
     
      believed
      to
      have
      stemmed
      from
      a
      hazing
     
     
      ritual
      in
      which
      five
      Windsor
      players
      were
     
     
      ordered
      to
      strip
      off
      their
      clothes
      and
     
     
      cram
      into
      the
      bathroom,
      or
      “hot
      box”,
     
     
      at
      the
      back
      of
      the
      team
      bus.
      As
      a
      result,
     
     
      coach-general
      manager
      Moe
      Mantha
     
     
      was
      suspended
      for

      games

      Meanwhile,
     
     
      McGill
      University
      has
      cancelled
      the
      rest
     
     
      of
      its
      football
      season
      after
      investigating
     
     
      acomplaint
      from
      an
      18-year-old
      rookie
     
     
      alleging
      that
      he
      was
      anally
      prodded
      with
     
     
      a
      broomstick.
      The
      hazing
      victim,
      who
     
     
      was
      not
      identified,
      has
      since
      left
      the
     
     
      school
      and
      McGill
      will
      take
      disciplinary
     
     
      action
      against
      several
      players.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      These
      incidents
      have
      once
      more
     
     
      blown
      up
      the
      media
      powder
      keg
      known
     
     
      as
      hazing.
      Now,
      I
      could
      be
      a
      real
     
     
      brainiac
      by
      providing
      the
      Webster’s
     
     
      definition
      of
      hazing,
      but
      I’m
      going
      to
      go
     
     
      on
      the
      assumption
      that
      you
      understand
     
     
      the
      term.
      If
      not,
      look
      it
      up
      in
      the
      damn
     
     
      dictionary
      yourself.
      The
      fact
      is
      that
     
     
      hazing
      is
      more
      rampant
      than
      many
     
     
      realize.
      Some
      form
      of
      hazing
      is
     
     
      happening
      somewhere
      at
      this
      very
     
     
      moment.
      The
      McGill
      incident
      is
      a
      rare
     
     
      occasion
      in
      which
      the
      victim
      got
      up
      the
     
     
      courage
      to
      make
      his
      ordeal
      public.
      The
     
     
      incidents
      we
      hear
      about
      are
      just
      the
      tip
     
     
      of
      the
      iceberg.
     
    

    
     
      That
      said,
      there
      is
      a
      fine
      line
     
     
      between
      hazing
      and
      initiation.
      Initiation
     
     
      could
      take
      the
      form
      of
      a
      rookie
      dinner,
     
     
      a
      shaved
      head,
      or
      wearing
      a
      dress
      on
     
     
      ateam
      flight.
      Its
      purpose
      is
      to
      encourage
     
     
      team
      bonding
      and
      to
      make
      the
      rookie
     
     
      feel
      comfortable
      with
      his
      teammates.
     
     
      Initiation
      is
      a
      time-honoured
      tradition
     
     
      in
      sports
      and
      can
      be
      very
      effective
      in
     
     
      bringing
      a
      team
      together.
