Having followed BC hockey for more than 50 seasons and five coaches.   I 
believe that Jerry York will step up and demonstrate what "responsibility for  
your actions" means.  I look for a first semester suspension for the three  
players.

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.
