Pro hockey player Alex Formenton, who used to play for the Ottawa Senators and now competes in Switzerland, has found himself in hot water. His lawyer confirmed on Sunday that Formenton has been charged by London, Ont., police. The London Police have charged several players, including Alex Formenton, in connection with an accusation made in 2018. Formenton intends to vigorously defend his innocence. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/ahmarskhan/status/1751749638925722097?s=46&t=yPo8xhaBTcZP7mkzEJs97A'> </a></blockquote></div> <h2>Legal Developments: Charges Filed Against Alex Formenton</h2> Caught on camera entering a London police station on Sunday, Formenton chose to remain silent. So far, neither his lawyer nor his agent has responded to inquiries. Formenton is among five players from Canada's 2018 world junior team who recently took indefinite leave from their professional clubs. This includes Carter Hart from the Philadelphia Flyers, Michael McLeod, and Cal Foote from the New Jersey Devils, and Dillon Dubé from the Calgary Flames. <h2Ongoing Fallout: Impact on Hockey Canada and the NHL</h2> While Formenton is believed to be the only player who has surrendered, the London Police have scheduled a press conference for February 5, 2024, to provide further updates. The incident allegedly occurred following a Hockey Canada gala in June 2018, where players were honored for their victory at the world junior tournament that year. The aftermath has sparked widespread criticism of Hockey Canada's governance and transparency, leading to parliamentary hearings and the resignation of key officials. With investigations by Hockey Canada, London Police, and the NHL ongoing, the situation continues to loom over Canadian hockey, prompting calls for reform within the sport's governing bodies.
