A recent report has revealed that Mt. Ararat High School in Topsham, Maine is facing hazing allegations within its hockey team, leading to the cancellation of the remainder of the season. The allegations included unsportsmanlike conduct, taunting, and a hostile environment within both the junior varsity and varsity boys’ hockey teams. The hockey coach, who was suspended, ultimately resigned citing the school’s failure to address the hazing concerns promptly.
Superintendent Heidi O’Leary mentioned that volunteer coaches also stepped down following an incident where players and parents wore a team member’s jersey number at the last game, leading to one student being singled out in the ongoing hazing investigation. O’Leary emphasized that if the allegations are true, there are multiple victims involved in this case.
The investigation into the alleged hazing is expected to conclude soon, however, it is unlikely that the hockey season will resume this year. This incident adds to a series of hazing allegations in Maine high schools, including Lisbon High School. The school officials are working to resolve the situation as quickly as possible and more updates on the matter are expected.
As the community comes to terms with these troubling incidents, they are looking forward to brighter things in 2025. Maine has a lot to offer, from recreational activities to cultural events, providing a sense of hope and optimism for the future.
