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.

Typical hockey bros at it again

Don't imagine that hockey is the only testosterone bro sport with the same problem.

It's the hockey culture. I grew up playing high level hockey, and we can pretend it doesn't exist or we can actually fix the culture.

It's there, it's bad, we all know it.

As a non-Hockey guy, surrounded by Hockey Jocks growing up: their stories and general view of women was horrible.

Hockey Canada's draconian social media policy prevents critical discussion from becoming fruitful.

I am still nervously waiting on my wife's impending disciplinary action. It's been several months since she received that livid phone call from a league official who said the wheels were already on motion on our disciplinary case and it was too late to stop it.

Of course it is.

My point is that it's not the only sport with the same problems, and we shouldn't limit ourselves to only fixing hockey culture.
