"Five Canadian NHL Players Charged in Sexual Assault Investigation"
Five members of Canada's 2018 world junior hockey team, including Carter Hart, Michael McLeod, Dillon Dube, Alex Formenton, and Cal Foote, have been ordered to surrender to police over sexual assault allegations. The allegations stem from a $3.5 million lawsuit settled by Hockey Canada with a woman who claimed she was sexually assaulted by eight members of the team. The players have taken leaves of absence from their respective teams, and the NHL has opened its own investigation into the matter. Hockey Canada has undergone significant changes and lost major sponsors following the emergence of this and other scandals.
