In recent times, Hockey Canada's image has taken a severe hit, grappling with the loss of major sponsors and public support. An ongoing investigation involving the NHL, Hockey Canada, and London Police revolves around a 2018 event, where multiple allegations of assault have surfaced.
Andy Strickland, a reporter and co-host of the Cam and Strick podcast, hinted at significant suspensions for the five players embroiled in the scandal.
The investigation is approaching its conclusion, and if found guilty, the players will face the full force of the consequences.
In response, Hockey Canada declared that no player from the 2018 World Juniors team is eligible to represent Canada's national team, including the forthcoming 2023 IIHF World Championship.
This remains a dark chapter in Canadian hockey history, with further developments expected in the coming days. The sport's integrity and reputation are at stake as this complex and sensitive issue unfolds.
