The accident was on Commonwealth Avenue and South Street, near the BC 
campus. All eight individuals will be charged with "being minors in 
possession of alcohol", according to the latest news stories.

They are lucky they were not more seriously injured (or killed).

I think the hockey players will face more serious consequences from Jerry 
York than from the courts. He does not take situations like this very well. 
I would look for some suspensions (at least) of the players involved at the 
beginning of next season.

On top of that, all the students involved will face disciplinary action by 
BC as well.
