The charges are tied to an alleged group sexual assault by players from Canada’s 2018 World Junior team who went on to play in the NHL.
Police allege the incident happened in a player’s hotel room following a Hockey Canada Foundation Gala and Golf event on June 19, 2018.
Carter Hart of the Philadelphia Flyers, Dillion Dubé of the Calgary Flames and former Ottawa Senator Alex Formenton, who now plays in Switzerland, were also charged, according to court documents.
The five players allegedly involved in the case requested and were granted leaves of absences from their NHL and European teams last month ahead of surrendering to police.
The woman at the centre of the 2018 group sexual assault allegations, known only in court documents as “E.M.”, filed a $3.5 million lawsuit that Hockey Canada settled.
London Police are scheduled to hold a press conference on Monday about the investigation they initially closed in 2019 without charges, only to re-open it in 2022 following a public outcry.
