TL;DR

London Police will address the public for the first time since charging five members of the 2018 Canadian world junior hockey team for sexual assault in connection with a 2018 incident. The players charged are Carter Hart, Alex Formenton, Michael McLeod, Cal Foote, and Dillon Dube. The case involves allegations of sexual assault by multiple players in a hotel room following a Hockey Canada celebration. The charges have not been tested in court, and the next hearing is scheduled for April 30. The NHL has conducted its own probe, and the players charged have taken leaves of absence from their NHL clubs. Hockey Canada, embroiled in controversy, has overhauled its leadership and is awaiting the conclusion of the judicial proceedings.
