In huge news, there have been reports that three more players are likely to be named in the investigation into the 2018 Canada World Junior Team after the original charges have been laid.

Three Players Expected to Be Named As Court Case Awaits

The 2018 Canada World Junior investigation has come to a breaking point, with 5 players being charged criminally and publically named. Dillon Dube, Cal Foote, Alex Formenton, Carter Hart and Michael McLeod have all been charged in the case, and it is expected to go to trial.

The incident occurred in 2018 after a fundraising gala in London, and the original case by the victim included suing Hockey Canada for being assaulted by 8 members of the team.

This has led journalists to believe that 3 more players will be named in the case, whether this is to testify to the incident or not. Martin Leclerc of Radio Canada had the following to say.

«In the lawsuit she filed in the spring of 2022, the alleged victim targeted Hockey Canada, all three Canadian major junior leagues and eight players who had only been identified by the pseudonyms John Doe and their year of birth. Were the three unaccused players spared for lack of evidence or lack of direct participation? Did they try to intervene to stop the alleged attack? If they were indeed present, will some of them be called to testify, by the defence or the prosecutors, to explain what they witness?»

Justice Will Be Served in the Court of Law

This case is a long way from over, and it is likely that players from the 2018 team, some currently playing in the NHL, will be called to the stand to testify about their teammates as witnesses in the case.

As this evolves, it's likely that a lot will change, with players' involvement and details being released. We will wait and see what happens in the court, and hopefully, the victim will get justice for the incident.
