It's now only a matter of time before the list of eight players involved in the 2018 Junior Team Canada sex scandal is revealed.
One by one, players who are mostly enjoying successful NHL careers are releasing statements of proof that they were not involved.
Some of the World Junior Team players were not even part of the Canadian Hockey League at the time, and their names have been cleared. Those players are:
Several players have come out and shared a public statement to clear themselves of involvement:
Three players shared statements via their lawyers that they had done nothing wrong. However, they did not specify whether they had been involved in the incident or not:
Dillon Dube (Calgary Flames)
Jake Bean (Columbus Blue Jackets)
Carter Hart (Philadelphia Flyers)
And five individuals have so far remained silent:
Drake Batherson (Ottawa Senators)
Alex Formenton (Ottawa Senators
Tyler Steenbergen (Liiga in Finland)
Boris Katchouk (Chicago Blackhawks)
Michael McLeod (New Jersey Devils)
We're not trying to place blame on any of the players, as nothing has been proven in terms of who was involved. However, recent statements have shed some light on things.
