Originally Published 1 year ago — by Russian Machine Never Breaks
Five members of the 2018 Canadian World Juniors team have been ordered to surrender to London police to face sexual assault charges related to an alleged incident in June 2018. The players have not yet been charged but have been given time to surrender. The London Police Service plans to hold a press conference on February 5 to provide details on the investigation. The news of the alleged assault led to significant criticism of Hockey Canada's handling of the event, resulting in parliamentary hearings and the resignation of their board of directors and CEO. The NHL launched its own investigation into the matter but has not yet released its findings.
