"Canadian Police Reopen Sexual Assault Case Involving Hockey Players After Apology"

Canadian police have apologized for the delay in pressing charges against four NHL players and one former player accused of sexually assaulting a woman in 2018. The case was reopened after new evidence came to light, and all five individuals have denied the allegations. The police chief expressed regret for the time it took to reach this point, while the NHL launched its own investigation and stated that the players will not be with their teams as the trial commences. The next court appearance for the players is scheduled for April 30, and a sexual assault conviction in Canada carries a maximum of 10 years in prison.
