A men's university team in the American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA) is currently in hot water. According to reports the team is being forced to sit out until the end of the 2026 season. The University of Northern Colorado Bears made the following announcement on Twitter today, saying they plan on appealing the ruling.
When asked why the team was suspended, the UNC Bears X account revealed it was the result of a league investigation.
"Our team was investigated and faced allegations from the university regarding underage drinking and hazing. We are currently working to appeal those allegations as we feel the punishment does not correspond to our actions. We appreciate any support."
