Five members of the 2018 world junior hockey team have been told to surrender to London, Ont., police to face charges of sexual assault, according to two sources.

The pending charges are connected to an alleged group sexual assault of a woman in a hotel room. The incident occurred following a Hockey Canada fundraising gala in June, 2018, where the players were honoured for their win at the world junior championships.

The players, who have not been charged yet, have been given a set period of time to present themselves at London police headquarters, according to two sources with knowledge of the investigation who The Globe is not naming because they have not been authorized to speak on the case.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Five members of the 2018 world junior hockey team have been told to surrender to London, Ont., police to face charges of sexual assault, according to two sources.

The players, who have not been charged yet, have been given a set period of time to present themselves at London police headquarters, according to two sources with knowledge of the investigation who The Globe is not naming because they have not been authorized to speak on the case.

An initial investigation by the London police was closed without charges in February, 2019, and reopened about a year and a half ago after media reports on the incident.

The case, which has played out over a period of more than five years, garnered national attention, embroiling Hockey Canada in controversy and prompting parliamentary hearings into the governance of the organization.

The federal government went on to freeze the organization’s funding and high-profile sponsors including Scotiabank, Tim Hortons, and Canadian Tire pulled their financial support.

In July, The Globe reported that Hockey Canada had kept a multimillion-dollar reserve known as the National Equity Fund to pay out settlements in cases involving sexual-assault allegations.
