I heard it had to do with vandalism of property, but honestly only heard this from a students at ER and do not know the facts, or even if it is true.

The vandalism rumor is that players on the East Ridge hockey team were going to houses and smashing Christmas lights.

I've been reluctant for years to say much about WB Varsity coaching for alot of reasons but new blood has been badly needed. Speaking from first hand experience in recent years on the subject of intolerance with hazing I can say that its obvious that nobody in the WB system takes the term 'hazing' and 'intolerance' seriously which is typical mentality of that area - sorry WB but its the truth. Its hard to believe that the kids are getting suspended over running barefoot in snow which leads one suspect that there was more to than that.

There is a long list of reasons why Sager should've made departure YEARS ago and The Hammer is as good of candidate as any for the program. Last year Lex at H-M turned in his own players which resulted in game suspensions. I don't like the guy but his actions sent a message to the players. Yes the Hill guys 'crime' was worse than being alledgely barefoot outside but none the less I'm sure the players would never consider any form of hazing. On the other hand Sager's behavior and decisions are irratic and damaging on and off the ice for years. He's behavior drives talent out of WB to other schools or whats WORSE is he's in a power trip to crush innocent kids. Sager combined with the mentality up there has held the program back. Again, sorry but its the truth.

1. I know these guys, everyone of them. All that happened was running barefoot in the snow, and that's all that ever happens.

2. Are you saying Hill-Murray doesn't have an initiation? I know for a fact they make their new players eat goldfish... Yummy!

As for tonight, JV stepped up and that's all you can ask for. Tonight on five eyewitness news they stated that this event sent "two players to the hospital." That's a complete lie, not a single fact to back that up based solely on the fact that NOW ONE WENT TO THE HOSPITAL.

Understood ... I stand corrected.

Time to lock this one up, games over, discussions have been made. It's been cluttered now with un-related posts. (although I'm guilty of that).

Agree.
