Police in London, Ont., are not confirming a report that five members of Canada’s 2018 world junior hockey team have been told to surrender to authorities to face charges of sexual assault.
The Globe and Mail, citing two unnamed sources, reported Wednesday the pending charges are connected to an alleged group sexual assault of a woman in a hotel room.
The incident is alleged to have occurred following a Hockey Canada gala in June 2018 where the players were honoured for their victory at that year’s world junior tournament.
