Lakeland College has been sanctioned by the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference (ACAC) after an investigation into Lakeland’s men’s and women’s Rustlers volleyball teams. The investigation found that the teams engaged in hazing activities during separate parties on September 1st. The women’s team has been suspended for the first eight games of the 2025-26 ACAC season, while the men’s team has been suspended for the first four. Other sanctions include a $500 penalty for each suspended match. “As an institution, we’re disappointed this has happened, but we’re in agreement with the sanctions against the teams,” said Lakeland Athletic Director Alan Rogan. Players and coaches of the volleyball teams will be required to undergo anti-hazing training prior to readmittance to ACAC competition.
