Apparently the alleged incident stems from a New Year's Eve party where alcohol was served to the underage players. A parent then informed girls head coach Ken Strube and the school district followed through on its Athletic Code of Conduct.

It is the latest in a string of conduct violations by athletic teams at Shenendehowa. Last winter, the boys ice hockey team suspended a number of players after they were caught with an illegal substance on a road trip. Three years ago, a number of players were charged with vandalism at the now infamous 'Hockey House.'

WNYT-TV has also confirmed this report.
