How does hockey player in that situation ring the alarm or speak out without jeopardizing his career? Currently, the solutions are limited to "suck it up and deal with it/be a man", but we're hoping that these revelations change that and more athletes are encouraged to speak up.

I would think the first step for a player would be to have a one on one private conversation with the coach i.e. man to man looking him in the eye.
