Five members of Canada’s 2018 world junior hockey championship team have been told to report to the police in London, Ontario, to face sexual assault charges, according to the Globe and Mail newspaper.
That team has been under investigation for an alleged sexual assault of a woman in a hotel room after a Hockey Canada gala in the Canadian city in June 2018.
The newspaper said the five players, who were not identified, had not been charged and had a set period of time to report to police headquarters. The Globe and Mail cited two people with knowledge of the situation who it did not name because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the case.
TJHN will update this story as more information becomes available.
