During the team’s annual “Initiation Week,” which concluded with “Freshmen Fun Night”, upperclassmen urged freshmen to, among other acts over the years, put condoms on bananas, fake orgasms and act out skits that referenced their sexual orientation. Some years, underaged players felt pressured to consume alcohol, some until they passed out or vomited. In some years, alumni came back to campus and participated in “Freshman Fun Night.”
There was a ritual called “Naked Skate” at The Bright-Landry Hockey Center that made some players uncomfortable. Players from 2005 to 2023 said they witnessed or participated in the event. In some of those years, freshmen were told to do a “superman” slide on the ice that left some with ice burns and bleeding nipples. The most recent “Naked Skate” occurred the day following the publication of the Globe story. After one player became upset about the event, Stone and her staff later met with the team and told them it was an unsanctioned activity.
• Players on teams dating as far back as 2002 recalled a fining system in which team members had to pay a monetary penalty for perceived offenses. Some women were fined for the clothes they wore or what they ate, for having a boyfriend or harboring a crush. Some players say they had to pay a ”gay tax” or an “Asian tax.” (https://247sports.com/board/93/Contents/naked-skating-and-hazing-at-harvards-womens-hockey-team-206118576/)But players also recalled being fined for late-night hookups or associating with people not deemed “friends of the program.” Players’ bodies, eating habits and sexual orientation could all be fineable offenses. One team member was fined for having a crush on a teammate.
