An investigation into the shocking behavior in Canada's most beloved
sport.The Fifth Estate delves into the things the public does not see —
demeaning initiation rites, ugly hazing and shocking rituals performed in the
name of team spirit. There are also girls who attach themselves to teenage
hockey stars like rock 'n roll groupies. They think of themselves as
"puck bunnies" but the players call them something far worse. The
behavior of all the participants, boys and girls alike, is raising legitimate
questions to be asked of the adults charged with their supervision. Includes
interviews with young hockey players who have undergone hockey initiation
rituals, as well as a puck bunny and a young woman who claims to have been
raped by several hockey players.
