The 2018 Team Canada World Juniors, once celebrated for their Gold Medal victory, has unfortunately found itself in the midst of a prolonged controversy.

Allegations of misconduct have swirled around the team, casting a shadow over their past achievements. Today marks a significant development in this unfolding saga.

Notably, investigative journalist Rick Westhead has shed light on a critical update:

Breaking: Five members of the 2018 world junior hockey team have been told to surrender to London, Ont., police to face charges of SA, The Globe and Mail reports, citing unnamed sources.


The Globe reports the players, who have not been charged yet, have been given a set period of time to present themselves at London police headquarters.

It's crucial to note that as of now, no charges have been officially laid, and all players involved are presumed innocent until proven guilty. This revelation marks the first substantial breakthrough in a case that has lingered for an extended period. Hopes are high that this development will lead to a major resolution.

At this juncture, the identities of the players involved remain undisclosed, adding an element of suspense to the unfolding situation.

These athletes have been given a specific timeline to turn themselves in to the police, adding an air of anticipation to the next steps in this ongoing legal process.
