"Canada's 2018 World Junior Hockey Team Faces Sexual Assault Charges"

Five members of Canada's 2018 world junior hockey team, including players from NHL teams, have been charged with sexually assaulting a woman in 2018. The police chief of London, Ontario, apologized for the delay in bringing the case forward. The players have surrendered to the police and are on indefinite leave from their teams. The case has shadowed Canadian hockey for years, and the NHL has launched its own investigation. The league does not consider it necessary to suspend the players without pay for the rest of the season.

"Canadian Hockey Scandal: 5 Players Face Charges in Sexual Assault Case"

Six years after a sexual assault allegation involving members of the 2018 Canadian World Junior hockey team, five players are set to be charged by the London Police. The case has been marked by delays, secrecy, and attempts to shield the accused and organizations from scrutiny. Hockey Canada settled a lawsuit out of court to keep the allegations secret, leading to public outrage and the resignation of its CEO and board of directors. The NHL also launched an investigation, and the details of both investigations remain undisclosed. The slow pace of the case has raised questions about justice and who is being protected, with a press conference scheduled for Feb. 5 to discuss the pending charges.

"Former Team Canada Junior Players Take Leave Amid Sexual Assault Investigation"

Five players from Canada's 2018 world junior ice hockey team, including NHL players Michael McLeod, Cal Foote, Carter Hart, and Dillon Dubé, have taken indefinite leaves of absence from their current teams amid a report of a sexual assault investigation connected to the 2018 team. The investigation involves allegations of sexual abuse and assault against a 20-year-old Ontario native, with no charges filed yet. The players have been asked to surrender to Ontario police, but it's unclear if the five on leave are the ones involved. The 2022 probe focuses on an alleged incident in 2018, and the woman involved dropped a lawsuit after reaching a settlement with the defendants.
