I’m playing against Gabe Davis today and thought I was having a bad Sunday morning but now it looks like Ian Cole is having a worse one.

 

[FDBluth]

well this doesn't seem good.

 

[Tad Mikowsky]

Ian Cole seems to be a piece of shit, representing the utter worst of hockey culture.

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

Maybe Mike Sullivan was onto something

 

[StrangeVision]

Holy shit that's f***ed up. And he bragged about assaulting a minor to his teammates, who did nothing, but there's no culture problem in hockey, nope.

 

[Peasy]

Wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if this is actually true.

A lot of hockey players are scum (and people with money/power) . All you have to do is listen to a group of teen hockey players casually chat about women.

 

[Antiillafire]

The teammates knew and seemingly acted normal about it??? WTF

 

[BonMorrison]

Wasn't Ian Cole also cheating on his wife with a Canes reporter?

Not that these are at all comparable incidents but just looking at his character as a person.

This seems like it’s an ongoing theme now wtf is going on

have you ever spent any time with hockey players?

This is the least surprising thing about all this tbh.

 

[PensandCaps]

would like the teammate of Ian Cole who reached out to her to come forward, if true. But i would see why he wouldn't, because you knew and didn't say anything?

Not surprised about Cole, comes off as a Barstool bro douche.

I think it's very important to note that these are pedophilia accusations as well. This isn't just "grooming", he literally had sex with a minor.

Disgusting. Dude's a POS if this is true.

Anthony DeAngelo doing a TD dance somewhere over finding out he wasn't actually the biggest dirt bag on the Canes blue line last year.

I noticed this in my teens. Sad if that type of behavior still exists among young hockey players.

The thought that DeAngelo got waived and bought out because of being a douchebag to his teammates, but Cole has been completely fine while f***ing children, is a pretty disgusting look for the league.

Not just that, but multiple minors.

They probably knew he was screwing a lot of girls, maybe some of them 'underage' (though this may depend on age of consent laws in the relative jurisdiction). Some of them probably thought it was cool, others thought it wasn't any of their business, some may have shaken their head. But really, do you think this is a particularly unusual thing in a sports team context?

I mean "it's just lockerroom talk" has been used to excuse all sorts of shitty behavior. From people that wield a hell of a lot more power than a bottom 6 defenseman in the NHL.

It's been well established that lockerrooms are by and large cesspits barely resembling human behavior. For generations. People are now finally putting two and two together, that holy shit all this 'blue' language was in fact a sign of the shit that actually goes on. An awakening if you will...

Looks like his Wiki page has been updated.

Where was this originally posted?

This case is a bit unique in the sense that it appears he was already in the nhl when allegedly luring high schoolers.

Most other cases seem to happen prior to the player making it to the nhl.

I usually look at nhl and high school to be two completely different bubbles, so it's pretty unsettling if true.

Hide your wives and also your underage daughters.

What a gross POS
