Some of the hazing included pouring chocolate syrup, flour and eggs on the victims as well as paddling them with hockey sticks. The paddling caused some severe bruising and one victim sustained muscle damage to his leg and buttocks.

Ekstorm was one of 11 teens charged after the hazing at the ‘freshie party.’ Six of the teenagers pleaded guilty in July to assault with a weapon. Charges against the four other teens were stayed.

Lanigan is approximately 115 kilometres east of Saskatoon.
