Former CHL Players Granted Opt-in Path for Hazing and Abuse Claims

The Ontario Superior Court of Justice has established a formal opt-in procedure for former players seeking legal recourse for abuse and hazing experienced within the Ontario Hockey League and the Western Hockey League. This court-approved framework allows victims to join collective actions organized by team affiliation.

Law firm Koskie Minsky LLP will serve as counsel for these proceedings, which are filed under Ontario Superior Court of Justice Court File No. CV-20-00642705-00CP. The process is designed to consolidate claims based on the specific teams where the alleged incidents occurred, streamlining the path to litigation for those who endured misconduct during their time in the Canadian Hockey League system.

Participation is strictly time-sensitive. Former players must register their intent to join the process by April 6, 2027. Any inquiries received after this deadline will be ineligible for the current opt-in framework. Those seeking to participate or requiring further details can contact the firm at 1-833-630-1791, via email at [email protected], or by visiting their website at www.kmlaw.ca/chl.
