An uproar in Fort McMurray, Alta., over a viral video that some considered racist has led to a minor hockey team forfeiting the remainder of its season because of safety concerns. The parents said they are telling their side of the story after "failed attempts" to come to a resolution with the minor hockey association. On Jan. 21, hours after the video surfaced online, the association issued a media release saying it was "devastated" by the players' actions in their "disrespectful" video. At least one team member had a "police presence" after the hockey association's statement, "in direct response to threats made against them." The parents said the hockey association failed to consult with anyone from the team before publicly condemning the video and the players' actions.
