The London Police Service has reopened an investigation into an alleged sexual assault involving five players from Canada's 2018 World Junior hockey team. The players involved, including Carter Hart, Dillon Dube, Cal Foote, Michael McLeod, and Alex Formenton, have surrendered to police to be charged. The case was closed in 2019 due to insufficient grounds, but new evidence prompted the reopening. The alleged assault took place in June 2018 after a Hockey Canada banquet in London.

The woman involved, identified as E.M., has filed a civil suit against Hockey Canada and eight players she alleges to be involved. Only five individuals have been charged so far. The NHL conducted its own investigation and will release findings after the court proceedings.

The case has been adjourned until April 30, with lawyers representing the accused and a justice of the peace meeting in a video conference. The identity of the victim and two witnesses in the case are protected, and substantial disclosure from London Police will be provided to the lawyers.
