Five former players on Canada¡¯s 2018 world junior ice hockey team have been found not guilty of sexually assaulting a woman in a hotel room that year, a judge said on Thursday.
The charges against Michael McLeod, Alex Formenton, Dillon Dube, Carter Hart and Cal Foote stemmed from an encounter in a hotel room in the Canadian city of London, Ontario after a Hockey Canada gala to celebrate the team¡¯s world junior championship victory.
All five former National Hockey League (NHL) players faced one count of sexual assault while McLeod faced an additional count of being a party to an offense. They all pleaded not guilty.
