"Antitrust Lawsuit Targets North American Major Junior Hockey Leagues"

A union representing junior hockey players has filed a class-action lawsuit against the NHL, the Canadian Hockey League, and affiliated junior hockey leagues, alleging violations of antitrust laws and systematic exploitation of players. The lawsuit claims that the leagues suppress players' rights, restrict their pay for name, image, and likeness, and exert control over them, leading to underpayment. The lawsuit seeks damages and injunctions to end these practices and prevent future drafts without a collective bargaining agreement.

"Sexual Assault Investigation Involving 2018 Canadian World Junior Hockey Team Unfolds"

Five members of the 2018 Canadian National Junior Team have taken leaves of absence from their NHL teams ahead of a police press conference regarding a 2022 lawsuit accusing eight Canadian Hockey League amateurs of sexual assault in 2018. The lawsuit alleges that a woman was sexually abused by players at a hotel after a Hockey Canada Foundation gala, and the London police have reopened their investigation. The players, including Alex Formenton, Carter Hart, Michael McLeod, Cal Foote, and Dillon Dubé, have been asked to surrender to police and face charges of sexual assault, prompting concerns about the broader culture of sexual misconduct in hockey.

"Connor Bedard: The Rising Star of Hockey's Future"

Connor Bedard, the most hyped NHL prospect since Connor McDavid, is expected to be the No. 1 pick in the 2023 NHL draft. Bedard, a center, is listed at 5-foot-10, but his game feels anything but small. He is as deceptive as he is unpredictable, with a hockey IQ and vision for the game that can allow him to completely tilt the ice every time he jumps over the boards. Bedard led Canada to a gold medal while scoring 23 points in seven games, including a highlight-reel goal in overtime to beat Slovakia in the quarterfinals.
