Hockey Canada scandal nearing its end

2018 Canada world junior hockey team

Five of the 2018 Canada World Juniors hockey team charged

The Hockey Canada scandal involving the 2018 Canada World Juniors hockey team is coming to a close. Five players from the 2018 Canadian world junior hockey team have been ordered to surrender to police in London Ont to face charges related to an alleged sexual assault.

The charges stem from an incident that allegedly took place during the 2018 world junior championships in Buffalo. Unproven allegations in a civil lawsuit say some members of the team sexually assaulted a woman, while others watched.

Police have reasonable grounds to believe that five members of the 2018 Canada World Juniors team were involved in the incident. Michael McLeod of the NHL's New Jersey Devils and Dube of the Flames have been charged in connection with the investigation. The other three players have not been identified.

The charges against the five players are serious and could result in significant jail time. The scandal has already had a major impact on Hockey Canada, which has been forced to make several changes in the wake of the allegations.

The scandal is a reminder that sexual assault is a serious issue that can have a lasting impact on victims. It is important to remember that sexual assault is never the victim's fault and that there is help available for victims of sexual assault.
