The American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA) has made the tough call to suspend the University of Northern Colorado's men's hockey team for the upcoming 2023-2024 season.

This suspension arises from an investigation into the team's behavior. Allegations of underage drinking and hazing within the team raised concerns at the university, leading to this unfortunate decision.

In response, the team issued a statement, saying,

"Our team faced allegations from the university regarding underage drinking and hazing. We're working to appeal these allegations as we believe the punishment doesn't match our actions. Your support is appreciated."

Despite the allegations, the team remains resolute in their appeal, convinced that the punishment doesn't fit their actions. They are committed to clearing their name and getting back on the ice.

This incident highlights the ongoing problems of hazing and excessive partying in hockey culture, a legacy from the past. The ACHA continues to prioritize creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for everyone in the sport.

For now, the Colorado Bears will sadly miss the upcoming season, but they're working diligently to resolve the allegations and return to the ice in the future.
