WARROAD, Minn. — The Warroad High School girls hockey team is the reigning state champion, but that success is now overshadowed by a looming legal fight.
The team’s longtime coach, David Marvin, filed a lawsuit this week against six parents of current and former players.
According to court documents, Marvin’s attorneys say this case is about what they call “baseless allegations, wild fabrications and false statements” made by the defendants that were designed to damage his reputation.
Among those statements are claims the defendants made about the coach’s conduct, including allegations of harassment and inappropriate behavior. Those claims were made both in letters to the school district and on a podcast posted last month on YouTube.
