In a recent development, court documents have revealed that five players from Canada's 2018 world junior team have been charged with sexual assault. Carter Hart of the Philadelphia Flyers, Michael McLeod and Cal Foote of the New Jersey Devils, Dillon Dube of the Calgary Flames, and former NHL player Alex Formenton are all facing charges in connection to an alleged incident that occurred on June 19, 2018, in London, Ontario. The document, obtained by The Associated Press, was entered into the record on Wednesday.
It is worth noting that McLeod is also facing an additional charge of being a party to the offense of sexual assault. Lawyers representing all five players have confirmed the charges but vehemently denied any wrongdoing on their clients' behalf.
