The 2018 World Juniors scandal has rocked the hockey world, and after the latest update, it appears the consequences will be felt all over the NHL. <h2>Cale Makar to miss Team Canada's Olympic Games squad?</h2> According to the latest post from Hockey Canada, despite not being charged, the remainder of the 2018 World Juniors team remains banned from competing or even coaching for Team Canada. <q>«Pending the completion of the appeal process, all players from the 2018 National Junior Team remain suspended by Hockey Canada, and are ineligible to play, coach, officiate or volunteer with Hockey Canada-sanctioned programs.»</q> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/ian_mendes/status/1754609377514803468?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1754609377514803468%7Ctwgr%5E8d2eb8b30d5ab8e71a739048a9b912d76aed34b1%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailyhockeydose.com%2Fnhl-team%2Fcolorado-avalanche%2FMAJOR-All-Star-Defenseman-To-Miss-2026-Olympics-Due-To-Ongoing-Criminal-Case'> </a></blockquote></div> Unfortunately for Team Canada ahead of the 2026 Olympic Games, that would include team hopefuls like Cale Makar and Drake Batherson. <h2>An unfair ruling for the remainder of the team?</h2> It's currently unknown to the public whether or not the whole team knew of the events that happened, as players such as Makar and Batherson were not at the event where the incident occurred. The 2026 Olympics are still over two years away, and with legal proceedings likely to get underway soon, there's a chance that things could change between now and then, but if not, it would be a major blow to Canada's hopes of Olympic gold.
