Five Players from Canada's 2018 World Junior Team Face Sexual Assault Charges

The players have been asked to surrender to police following allegations of a sexual assault that took place during a team celebration.

Five players from Canada's 2018 World Junior Championship team have been asked to surrender to police in London, Ontario, to face sexual assault charges.
The charges stem from allegations of a sexual assault that took place in a hotel room during a celebration of the team's success.
The players who have taken leaves of absence from their current teams include Michael McLeod and Cal Foote of the New Jersey Devils, Carter Hart of the Philadelphia Flyers, Dillon Dubé of the Calgary Flames, and former NHL player Alex Formenton, who now plays in Europe.
The London Police have scheduled a news conference for Feb. 5 to provide details about the investigation.
The scandal has already led to the resignation of Hockey Canada's leadership and the loss of several sponsors, including Nike.
