Well that more or less cleans that up with $30 million price tag.
CTV had the details, too...
OHL won't investigate hazing allegations by former Kitchener Ranger
It looks like Guest didn't want to pursue criminal investigation.
This thread should just be Re-titled “Class Action Lawsuits,” since there are at least four (6 if you view the minimum wage suit as three distinct actions).
The minimum wage lawsuits are not wrapped up. The three judges did not sign off on the consolidated settlement agreement, finding the settlement terms were overly broad and gave the CHL too much protection from liability for conduct that falls outside the claims alleged in the suit. So unless the parties agree to new language in the Release section, the next step is court dates in the respective jurisdictions.
As well, the CHL faces at least 3 other class actions —concussions, violation of Canadian Federal anti-competition/US Sherman Anti-trust laws, and the one discussed here, alleged abuse.
Regardless of where one stands on the merits of these cases, most people agree that they are big fat elephants in the CHL room that are not going to magically disappear tomorrow morning.
Has anything changed since this?The minimum wage lawsuits are done I think. They were paid out by each team already
In Josh Brown's article about Kitchener's budget there was like a 200,000 loss from paying off the lawsuit so I assumed that meant it was done with. But idkHas anything changed since this?

That'd be 12 million total in legal fees then (200K times 60 teams). That cant be rightThe payment was for legal fees, not the lawsuit
Here we go... this explains it... it hasn't been settled, but the Rangers have set aside the moneyThat'd be 12 million total in legal fees then (200K times 60 teams). That cant be right

Kitchener Rangers lose money for first time in 25 years.
The Lawyers out there sure have found a goldmine of litigation. It all makes me sick to be honest.
