Cale Makar has been named as a prospective witness in the sexual assault trial involving five players from Canada’s 2018 World Junior Championship hockey team, including Dillon Dube and Carter Hart. The trial, taking place in London, Ontario, has drawn significant attention as the players have pleaded not guilty. Makar, who has repeatedly stated he was not present during the incident, has cooperated fully with Hockey Canada’s investigation. The trial is expected to span approximately eight weeks, with Makar's role still unclear.
