Five members of Canada's 2018 World Junior hockey team, including Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Carter Hart, Dillon Dube, Alex Formenton, Michael McLeod, and Cal Foote, have been charged with sexual assault in connection with a 2018 incident in London, Ontario. Michael McLeod faces two counts. The charges follow a lengthy investigation after allegations surfaced from a Hockey Canada event in June 2018. NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman has condemned the alleged actions as 'abhorrent' and 'reprehensible'. The NHL's own investigation took approximately 12 months, and the league is waiting for the judicial process before taking further action. The players, who have been placed on leave from their teams, surrendered to the London Police Service and were released on undertakings, with their first court appearance already occurring.
