Hockey Canada says it will reopen a third-party investigation into an alleged sexual assault involving members of the country's 2018 world junior team.
Hockey Canada is reopening its investigation into 2018 sexual assault allegations involving members of the 2017-18 Canadian world junior team, the organization announced Thursday.
Hockey Canada is also signing on with the Office of the Sport Integrity Commissioner , a new and specialized organization that will oversee all complaints, concerns, and allegations within Hockey Canada’s authority; and is creating a confidential and independent channel for individuals to step forward with complaints — including, as they indicate, “those historical in nature.” This channel will direct all complaints at the national programming level to OSIC.
In April, a woman filed a lawsuit against Hockey Canada, the Canadian Hockey League, and eight unnamed CHL players stating she was sexually assaulted in a London, Ont. hotel room following a Hockey Canada gala event in June 2018. The woman, who chose not to participate in investigations opened by London Police and Hockey Canada, wishes to remain anonymous and did not name the alleged perpetrators, who are referred to as John Does 1-8 in the official statement of claim.
