Thin Ice (1996) | The Fifth Estate

From 1996, Linden MacIntyre investigates the shocking behaviour in Canada’s most beloved sport, hockey. There are things an adoring public doesn’t see: demeaning initiation rites, hazing, physical and sexual abuse performed in the name of team spirit. And there are legitimate questions to be asked of the adults charged with their supervision.
