Or should I just say pathetic are the actions of a certain women’s hockey team.
You knew the rules, surely you’ve heard of the expression “zero tolerance” and know what it means, but you went right ahead and disobeyed anyway.
You got caught, and guess what?
Consequences.
Now you’re whining like little babies trying to get the punishment “overturned” because by your assertion the penalty is too steep for the actions, and afterall we’re just girls.
And we’ve always gotten away with everything up to this point by reminding whoever the authority might be.
You’re apparently rallying your parents and other sympathizers in a fund raising attempt to afford legal costs for taking your university to court.
Really?
Why don’t you just grow up, accept that you did wrong (and got caught) and learn a valuable lesson from all of this.
You could also set a good example for future would-be women’s teams.
Instead you’re whining, and not exactly “being a good sport” and taking your lumps.
What sort of message are the supporters of this entitled little group sending?
Do whatever you want, and when you get caught, just make a lot of noise via the media and try to bully your way out of the penalty.
Just take your lumps, and go forward in life with this valuable lesson about rules and the failure to obey them.
You may actually do yourelf a favour in later life when you feel tempted to do the wrong thing and think twice.
Character Ladies. — Cheese With That Whine?
This article appears in Jan 17-23, 2013.
Absolutely correct, OP. In Orientation Week my freshman year the campus B-Ball coach gave all of us his patented “Motivational” talk which involved holding up a large diaper pin, explaining it’s function and emphasizing just how far removed from it we were supposed to be. And, of course, being a freshly minted High School Honours Grad snotfaced, insufferable little know-it-all , my reaction was to say “Who the F@#$ is this clown?” I then proceeded to spend the next 4 years learning, to my chagrin, exactly what Rod Shoveller was talking about. There’s fun and then there’s stupidity and if you manage to learn the difference then your exhorbitant tuition has paid for itself. Take your lumps, girls.
Maybe take the long view, and see it as a challenge to learn from, and not a way to get one over on those making the rules.
Or something.
Think there’s video of the offence?
Hubba.

I had no idea eating jalapeños was such an offence at Dal… No spicy food at school, got it. Lesson learned.
Really? Rallying parents and supporters for legal funds? It is a womens hockey team, right? I think it would be more appropriate for them to hold a bake sale, or an early Feb bikini car wash.
For you, Comrade.

I wouldn’t say “got caught”, more like ratted on. One of the players who was picked on (rookie I’d assume) was telling her parents about the party and it was the parents who called the school. The school rep (Crosby) is quoted as saying that and only that much is made available.
Time for those ladies to join the local ringette teams …. & I am not in any way putting those ringette players down.
I went & watched a couple of matches during the Canada games here , & those girls play HARD !
My God, they call that hazing? A scavenger hunt, eating a pregnant woman’s craving, and a drinking game. The University has no idea what hazing really is. There were no paddles, cigars where they don’t belong, nudity, etc. The University says there is more but won’t say what. I say they have nothing. This incident is very public and in fact the team is still vocal. If there was something more serious, one would think they would keep their mouths shut rather than face the embarrassment. Much ado about nothing.
Go to any porn site and search ‘hazing’. That is some hazing. This is not. They wouldn’t dare do this to a men’s sports team, methinks. Still, it is what it is. Take your lumps ladies.
There may be degrees of “hazing” but the mentality behind it is the same. There may be a broad gulf between eating pickles and whipped cream and doing ass-to-ass with a double dong but the mindset behind compelling someone to do either in order to be “accepted” is the same and a Zero Tolerance policy goes a long way toward preventing “harmless fun” from mutating into something altogether less attractive. Students and their parents pay frigging good money to go to uni. That doesn’t include facilitating some closeted Christian Gray wannabe who gets a wide-on watching her sistahs slapping titties.
Agreed. Zero tolerance is zero tolerance. You saw that one too, Ivan? 😉
I forgot about wide-on, nice.
“They wouldn’t dare do this to a men’s sports team, methinks. “
It’s all a big conspiracy to keep women’s oppression alive and well… must be.
Man… fuck you then. I’m really starting to hate that gender card.
Point is, they broke the rules. If they overturned the decision, what do you think would happen next year? live and learn? or try to bend the rules even more?
ya…
Believe me, there won’t be any hazing for a while at Dal because of this.
Now I’m no stranger to hazing and peer pressure… my frosh week was 100 times worse than anything they could get away with these days.
(think mustard and ketchup poured in the crack of my ass the morning of a 30 degree day where I was not permitted to take a shower…. bad, and just as much for everyone else around me as well.) Those are the fuckers pushing the limits that ruined it for all future years.
Tame or not, zero-tolerance is pretty clear.
I think the term they (Dal) actually used was “initiation”. But whatever.
So, they don’t get to play the last, what, 10-12 games of their season? Meh. From what I’ve heard, it was probably a blessing in disguise as they weren’t doing so shit-hot to begin with.
Chalk it up to a lesson learned, ladies. For once, zero tolerance actually means zero tolerance.
F.S. – Montrealman was kind enough to download for me some rare 8mm film of Eva Braun “auditioning” new secretaries at Berchtesgaden.

“Go to any porn site and search ‘hazing’. That is some hazing. This is not.”
One of the more retarded posts I’ve read on this website. Congratulations on comparing staged acting in porn to real life. You are truly an inspiration for fuckwits everywhere.
I think the issue of ‘propriety’ and the fact that mens collegiate sport teams traditionally get more funding/attention from media/prestige is something valid to bring up here, in terms of wether this would have all been swept under the rug or a lesser punishment give. Maybe the rat’s parents would have accepted it if was their son. You wanna call it the gender card and say fuck you? Can’t wait til next you play your emo/depressed/ennui card again you glum son of a bitch.
I agree with this bitch 110%. There’s not much more to say than what OB’s already said.
The only thing that bugged me about this whole thing is when it was noted that counselling services were being made available to team members. The rookies? Yes, I can see providing counselling, but there’s a RIDICULOUSLY long wait time to see a counsellor at this university because resources are slim — so why in the fuck would you waste those resources providing mental health services to these girls who are being forced to deal with the consequences of their shitty actions? There are plenty of students at this university who could make better use and are in more need of these services. The wait times wouldn’t be so long otherwise.
That just irked me to all hell.
And in sum, if this isn’t the poorest show of sport[wo]menship I’ve ever seen, I don’t know what is.
Keep it classy, ladies.
I said it to illustrate the point that the incidents described were a very mild form of hazing. Good try though. Feeling threatened by all the new trolls are we, Zilla? It’s so rare I get the pleasure of being trolled by you anymore. Thank you.
“I said it to illustrate the point that the incidents described were a very mild form of hazing.”
Regardless of how you want to rationalize your comparison…you’re still stupid as fuck for making the comparison. This wasn’t even a troll….I legitimately think you are stupid and you proved it by backing up your original stupidity with more stupidity. I don’t have to troll less intelligent people because they go out of their way to make themselves look retarded.
Is that all you have? I can continue to belittle your intelligence if you’d like.
Yes they broke the rules, but personally i think the rule itself goes way to far. I went threw sports, i was “hazed”. To be completely honest it did nothing but build comradery within the team. And mine involved real embarassment, it was just part of the initiation and we all had a big laugh about it afterwards
Why is it stupid? I used an example to illustrate a point. It is irrelevent that porno is fictional, that type of shit does go on in real life. I was not saying that porn is reality, and saying I am stupid as fuck isn’t gonna change that, cuz.
Bottom line, Dal doesn’t want to spend the money to transport the team to Truro for practice because the University can’t take care of its own property.
It’s stupid because porn is staged and grossly exaggerated to play into fantasy. If you were trying to debate someone on how deadly alligators were you wouldn’t reference dragons. Sure if you dig deep enough your comparison is valid if you ignore the obvious difference between real life and fantasy, but it’s still stupid and doesn’t accurately support the point you are trying to make.
What you should have said to make your point was:
Search ‘NIU hazing death’. That is some hazing. This is not.
See what I did there? I made a reference that isn’t fake to show how the incident in question was relatively minor in terms of what could happen.
Hey, Newt Ginrich is posting on LTWWB!
And fuck the crying about hazing. The exact details of what happened weren’t released so save your judgement, deliberation, and execution for those involved in what is actually going on, folks. Good ol’ Nova Scotia and its Springfield, USA-type mentality. Bunch of slack-jawed British cigarettes, man…
Next thing Halloween gonna be cancelled forever because someone dresses up like Snoopy from Peanuts and some stupid kid who was chased by a white dog with black ears will freak out, cry to mom and dad, who will cry to the government, which will then cancel the sixth-greatest day of the year!
HAY! Snoopy’s culture is NOT a costume!

Not sure why it’s 6th on your list…
It’s way up at 3rd on mine.
Maybe it was for the fact that the guys knew there was a rule and made sure to get an iron clad pact that they don’t fucking squawk about it to anyone….
and the girls were all, “we get away with anything all the time anyways… we can do what we want without fear of repercussion.”
Just as likely a scenario as yours FS… and equally as stupid.
“…because the University can’t take care of its own property.”
Would you mind explaining that one, Tim? I do a lot of work for Dalhousie, and I can assure you that they don’t cheap out when it comes to fixing up the campus. The only issue is that they have to maintain/upgrade over 110 buildings.
You guys ever heard some of the hazing stories coming out of St.F.X.? I can assure you that anything you’ve heard has been greatly under-exaggerated.
Once, in the wee hours of the morning, they dragged a dead deer (roadkill) that they had found on the side of the highway into one the the dorm buildings. They took it to the top floor, draped it over the stairwell railing, and ‘drained’ it. The entire building had to be evacuated the next morning. This was part of some hazing going on between two different houses, and I’m pretty sure the culprits were from the mens hockey team.

I dunno…when I read the article I didn’t think that the ‘hazing’ was that bad…they did a scavenger hunt and a couple other things. No one was hurt. Should they be repremanded? Maybe. But not being able to play a sport that they probably worked really hard to be able to play, just because of shit we all do as teenagers…I dunno if the punishment fits the crime. Cause we all follow the rules to the letter 100% of the time, right?
Who is having a debate? So no one referencing anything fictional is is making a valid point? TV and movies are fictional…GODZILLA
Fuck, your troll skills are rusty there, stallion. And zZz, your gender bias is showing. You tell me fuck you and that I am playing the gender card for making the point that men’s and women’s sports are treated quite differently? But no, you don’t have a chip on your shoulder about women, that has never come up before. Oh wait. Those fuckin whores, always gettin away with shit hey bud? Retreat into the void.
I feel bad for the 1st year girl who instigated this. Snitches get stitches and all that, which is why they have 0 tolderance policy in the first place, no?
I think Furious is right. If the men’s hockey team were caught doing this, there isn’t chance in hell any suspensions and cancelling of the season would be handed out.
That said, they knew the rules going in so they must accept the punishment as severe as it might be.
Man, I hope Haji from Johnny Quest had some words for dear ol’ Snoop!
If they called it a “Team Building Exercise” it would have been fine.
“SIM SIM SALABIM!”
CHRISTIAN GREY SHOWS THE WAY!
“Wrap your legs around me, baby”, he commands. I do as I’m told and wrap my arms around his neck, and he moves quickly and sharply, filling me. Ah! He gasps, and I groan. Holding my behind, his fingers digging into my soft flesh, he begins to move, slowly at first – a steady even tempo – but as his control unravels, he speeds up … faster and faster. Ahhh! I tip my head back and concentrate on the invading, punishing, heavenly sensation … pushing me, pushing me …onward, higher, up .. and when I can take it no more, I explode around him, spiraling into an intense, all-consuming orgasm. He lets go with a deep growl, and he buries his head in my neck as he buries himself inside me, groaning loudly and incoherently as he finds his release.” (Fifty Shares of Grey, p. 480)
Was Christian the coach? Did the female jock-hazers actually growl too?
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!

After reading about how many people earn $100 grand+ at Dal each year …. WHy don’t you hockey student simply deal with your suspension by voting with your wallets. Simply go & pay some other University to allow you to play hockey.
When i was an orientation leader last year for frosh at Dal we had a speaker come in and talk about this sort of thing. He was a leader when he was in university in Fredericton and took part in making frosh, during orientation week, do various sexual acts on a blow up sheep. Just listening to his confession/story about what he helped encourage just rubbed me the wrong way. Honestly the dal hockey team deserves the punishment. They need to grow some ovaries and realize that what they did was inappropriate for a University team. Its not high school anymore ladies! You represent the University, so act mature and sensible.
“I can assure you that they don’t cheap out when it comes to fixing up the campus.”
Of course not they are public sector and as we know all services public sector pay for is overpriced…why…becasue they can afford it! Let’s see what gets cut with what $17mil shortfall next year. I work as a contractor for a public sector entity and the amount of fucking waste is absolutely disgusting. Our tax money being spent on stuff that many private companys wouldn’t even dream of. Tendered contracts that seem to get extended and the costs get run up like crazy. I watch dead weight after dead weight playing solitaire or spending half their day on facebook, who are grossly over paid. The other day when it snowed all of two inches half of the staff took a paid vacation day. Pathetic! Public sector jobs are like winning the lottery to us working grunts who understand what it means to put in an honest days work.
I’m sick of the damn cliques at school. What are sports teams coming to? Kids today are evil and they’re supposed to be in college DAYUM, grow up and get a life already. Expell them all!
