"NHL Players Face Sexual Assault Charges: Latest Updates"

The team's original statement now appears insidious, and it's unclear whether Dubé or the Flames organization was primarily responsible for the misleading explanation. The Flames have since issued a follow-up statement acknowledging the charges and refraining from further comment due to "pending legal proceedings."
