I have been told that all of the rookies have been told to come but the whole team has been invited. I will be talking to a few of the senior guys today and ask them to attend.
Where/where are you going to talk with them? Are you going to their practice today?

I am sure there are still some rookie initiations but after the Aliu incident a few years ago, there has been a BIG crackdown on hazing in the OHL. I am not 100% sure of the details (Little help here TheQuietOne or Quizzer) but I know it lead to a coach being fired.

Not good, that means it went a bit too far

Coles notes version:

- Windsor Spitfires rookies were forced to stand, naked, into a bus bathroom as a hazing ritual. Akim Aliu refused to participate.
- Steve Downie then cross-checked Aliu to the mouth and fought Aliu during a practice three weeks later; after this incident, the story broke about the earlier hazing incident.
- Controversy breaks, Spits coach Moe Mantha is suspended by the OHL and later fired by the Spits; Spits got fined; Downie and Aliu were later traded.

Sorry I thought it was the Soo, thanks for the info Quizzer!

We all know that Steve Downie probably isn't the smartest guy going.

I recall when that occurred. It was definitely really screwed up; most people thought initially that it was a lot to do with Aliu, but now we know how Downie's head is a little messed up (with his actions this year).
