 | Crossing the Line by Laura Robinson
The world of junior and professional hockey will never be the same since Sheldon Kennedy of the Boston Bruins revealed that while a junior player with the Swift Current Broncos he was molested more than 300 times by his coach, Graham James. This revelation, and lames's subsequent conviction, has thrown a spotlight on junior hockey, where abuse of and by young players is appallingly common. In Crossing the Line, Laura Robinson takes an unflinching look at abuse in Canada's junior hockey system, the country's breeding ground for the NHL. She explains how this great sport has gone so bad, and challenges the world of hockey to rethink the game and consider ways to fix it. The abuse takes many forms. It may be overtly sexual. It may be an overwhelming pressure on players -- removed from the support of their families and often living far from home -- to perform and to fit in. It often takes the form of degrading hazing rituals, many of which have violent sexual overtones, designed to take the players beyond their inhibitions and the normal limits of their aggression. Robinson shows how the institutionalized abuse in hockey turns the players themselves into abusers. Yet when accusations are leveled against the players, team managers and owners rally around to protect them, applying pressure to have the charges dropped or the accuser discredited. Junior hockey and the NHL are arenas for the display of what we consider to be ideal manhood. In Crossing the Line, Laura Robinson shows how damaging it can be when the participants in this often violent spectacle are unleashed on the real world. AUTHOR: Laura Robinson
