The community member said the teen who received the awards is one of three arrested earlier this year following an investigation into incidents of hazing on a high school hockey team.
Two incidents are alleged to have taken place in November 2023 and January 2024 at a hotel, while a high school hockey team from the Pembina Valley area was in Winnipeg for tournaments, they said.
The community member who spoke with CBC said along with rescinding the awards in June, the school division apologized, saying a mistake had been made by the athletics department.
The statement went on to say the division is “aware that some may perceive that not enough is being done; however, maintaining the privacy of individuals while planning for the safe participation and attendance of students when possible remains a priority and our legal responsibility.”
The co-founder of a Calgary-based company that provides education to coaches, parents and athletes on the prevention of bullying, abuse, harassment and discrimination in sport said hazing incidents still happen, though there appear to be fewer cases now than in the past.
Players who do come forward about incidents of hazing — which can include discrimination, as well as physical, emotional and sexual abuse — have to be believed, and teams need protocols in place to deal with it if it happens, said McNeil.
