NHL Players Charged with Sexual Assault in Connection with 2018 Incident

All Five Players Deny Charges and Plan to Plead Innocent as NHL Conducts Its Own Investigation

Carter Hart of the Philadelphia Flyers, Michael McLeod and Cal Foote of the New Jersey Devils, Dillon Dube of the Calgary Flames, and Alex Formenton, who plays in Europe, have been charged with sexual assault in connection with an alleged assault by several members of Canada’s 2018 world junior team.
The alleged assault took place in June of 2018 after an event honoring the 2018 Canadian World Juniors team in London, Ontario.
All five players have denied the charges and plan to plead innocent.
The London police will hold a news conference on Monday to address the case.
The NHL has been conducting its own investigation, which it has been extremely mum on.
