Grieving family files lawsuit against son's former hockey team after sudden death
The last thing you think about when you're a parent sending their child to a hockey camp is that they might never come home, it's parents worst nightmare.
In September of 2019, Ben Teague, a member on the Oakville Rangers of the Ontario Junior Hockey League left for a pre-season camp and never came home, now, according to TSN's Rick Westhead, his parents Greg and Susan have filed a 1 million dollar lawsuit against the Rangers and others, take a look:
Greg and Susan Teague have filed a $1M negligence and wrongful death lawsuit against the Oakville Rangers Hockey Club and others.
Our @CTVW5 story on their search for answers about how their 17-year-old son Benjamin died at a team event in 2019.
The lawsuit is for negligence and wrongful death regarding the 17-year old player after his parents got a phone call and rushed to the hospital after their son had admitted to drinking.
I hope Greg and Susan get the answers they're looking for and that the people who are responsible face the consequences. This is a tragedy and as parents, they shouldn't be left without answers
This is something you hope never happens and the family deserves to know how and why.
The silence around hockey culture has gone on for way too long, it's time for things like this to stop.
