There appears to be movement in the Hockey Canada sexual assault scandal that rocked the country, according to reports.
The Globe & Mail is reporting that the five players from the team must surrender to London, Ontario police to face charges of sexual assault following an incident that allegedly happened at a function in 2018.
Although police closed the case in 2019, they reopened the case in 2022 after details of a $3.55 million settlement between the alleged victim and Hockey Canada were made public.
The Globe reports that the players have not been charged yet and have been given a "set period of time to present themselves at London police headquarters."
Multiple professional hockey players from the 2018 Canadian World Junior team have taken leave of absences from their teams in recent days, with official team announcements made on X.
The players are Dillon Dube of the Calgary Flames, Carter Hart of the Philadelphia Flyers, Alex Formenton of the Swiss League, and Michael McLeod and Cal Foote of the New Jersey Devils.
