"Arrests Made as New Evidence Emerges in Canada Hockey Players' Sexual Assault Case"

New evidence has prompted the reopening of an investigation into an alleged 2018 sexual assault involving four current and one former NHL players, who have been arrested and charged. The athletes, including Carter Hart and Cal Foote, face sexual assault charges related to an incident in a London, Ontario hotel room. The case was reopened in 2022 after police discovered new leads and additional witnesses. The players have denied the allegations, and a civil suit filed in 2022 was dropped after reaching a settlement. The NHL and Hockey Canada have cooperated with the investigation, and the players are suspended from participating in hockey activities.
