Not sure I agree with your assessment.

For the rookie Mr. Aliu, who refused to strip down and crowd into the bathroom and who later lost four teeth from the Downie crosscheck, the OHL's stand should have sent a defiant message that hazing and dangerous behaviour will not be tolerated.
But did it? For Mr. Aliu, the answer is no. He wants out as badly as Mr. Downie, the Philadelphia Flyers first-round draft pick who was suspended for five games by the Spitfires and has asked to be traded. According to Mr. Aliu, he sees no future in Windsor and believes little has changed attitude-wise.

He stood up against hazing culture in Jr. hockey, and wasn't backed by his team or league in any real way.
I remember there being talk of a substance abuse issue with Akim as well, though not sure if those have been confirmed one way or the other.
