Report on hazing in sports shows disconnect between policy and reality

by · National Post

TORONTO — A new study finds there’s a disconnect between how hazing on sports teams in Canada is perceived and the realities of toxic culture.

The Coaches Association of Ontario, with support from Hydro One, commissioned the survey by Leger and released the findings on Thursday. The CAO had five speakers address the report at a conference at Toronto Metropolitan University before hosting a series of workshops.
