NHL commissioner Gary Bettman described the alleged actions of members of the 2018 Canadian world junior team as 'abhorrent' and 'reprehensible.' The NHL conducted a 12-month investigation into the sexual assault allegations. Bettman stated that the league will wait for the judicial process to play out in London before taking any action. He also mentioned that the NHL had no advanced notice that 5 players would be charged in the 2018 Hockey Canada sexual assault investigation. Bettman expressed surprise at the possibility of the charged players returning to the NHL before the legal process concludes. The players facing charges are all on leave from their teams, and the NHL will not release any findings until the judicial process is complete.
