The University of Michigan, with the help of an outside law firm, is investigating multiple allegations of misconduct within the men's hockey program.

Head coach Mel Pearson confirmed the existence of an investigation this week in an interview with the Michigan Daily, the school's newspaper, telling reporters: “The truth will come true at the end of the investigation. And I feel very confident that the allegations will be proved wrong.”

The school and the athletic department are not confirming or denying the investigation.
