Minor Hockey Leagues in Nova Scotia Address Hazing Prevention

While many leagues issued statements against harassment, specifics on preventive measures remain vague. Hockey Nova Scotia has mandatory parent training but lacks player-focused education, though reviews of training programs are planned. Local associations, like the Halifax Hawks, are implementing pledges to encourage open discussions on conduct and establish a safer environment.
