In Canada, hockey players from the 2018 World Cup were banned from playing for the national team due to a trial of violence
Hockey Canada responded to allegations of sexual assault against players during the 2018 World Junior Championships. This is reported on the organization’s website.
The federation said it intends to continue to support the trial. It is noted that until the completion of the appeal process, players on the 2018 Canadian junior team will be prohibited from playing, coaching, serving as referees or volunteering in Hockey Canada programs.
The trial began on February 5 in Ontario. Among the defendants were goalkeeper Carter Hart (Philadelphia), forwards Dillon Dube (Calgary) and Alex Formenton (Ambri-Piotta), as well as forward Michael MacLeod and defenseman Cal Foote (both New Jersey).
On January 25, it was reported that police in Halifax, Canada were continuing to investigate an alleged rape that occurred at the 2003 World Cup. It was noted that the police have now begun interviewing witnesses and collecting data.
