Laurier bans baseball team four games for hazing, says ban could be extended

WATERLOO, Ont. – Wilfrid Laurier University has suspended its varsity baseball team for a minimum of four games for hazing.

The university says the hazing violated the school’s student-athlete code of conduct

The Golden Hawks baseball team is 4-4 this season with 12 games remaining.

There is a chance the ban could be extended to the whole season.

But school officials said they wanted to first give the team a chance to make a case for playing out the remaining games.

The school did not detail the hazing in its release.
