Allegations against the coaching staff of the Warroad Minnesota Girl’s Hockey Team have recently surfaced, revealing claims of mental abuse, neglect, and sexual harassment. The players, parents, and community members involved have expressed their concerns to the school district, as well as the hockey coaches, high school administration, and school board. The allegations include instances of inappropriate sexual comments towards players, a coach urinating in front of the team, coaches getting drunk during a tournament and passing out in a player’s room, disregarding concussion protocols, bullying, and unfair advantages. Despite these serious allegations, the letter states that the school administration and board have not taken sufficient action in response. When questioned about the allegations, Superintendent Shawn Yates claimed that the concerns had already been addressed, but some individuals remain dissatisfied. The district allegedly became aware of the allegations towards the end of the previous Girls HS Hockey season and conducted an investigation, resulting in appropriate action being taken. The letter proposes potential solutions, such as establishing an anti-bullying taskforce, hiring a mental health consultant, monitoring reports of harassment, and potentially replacing the current coaching staff. When asked if the accused coaches are still coaching, Yates did not provide a response. It is important to note that this article is a rewritten version of the original news content.
