A lawsuit has been filed by 16 men who played hockey at the University of Michigan. They allege that team staff knew about sexual hazing that occurred decades ago. The university has responded, calling the allegations disturbing but denying any responsibility.

The lawsuit was filed in federal court and stems from conversations among former teammates that took place in 2024.
