A statement on the team’s website said the change was “effective immediately.”

“The women’s hockey players have been made aware of this change and Pronghorn Athletics will announce an interim coach in the near future,” the statement read.

In 2018, the school investigated a formal harassment complaint against Janus filed by six players.

Some ex-players are seeking $1 million in general damages, and court documents obtained by Postmedia said the women claim they were harassed and intimidated while playing for the Pronghorns.

The allegations include physical, psychological and emotional harm, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, panic attacks and anxiety.
