I'm with Table 5 and the others who condemn hazing. I've played hockey up the level of junior and have seen some relatively tame incidents of hazing take place. For the life of me I fail to see how embarrassing someone in front of all his peers makes him feel like part of the group. Even Joe Sakic spoke out against it after he was shaved as a rookie in Quebec, saying he wouldn't have any part of it in the future as a veteran.
Completely pointless, at best, and seriously damaging at worst.
