    If they suspended all of the players who have committed sexual assault, no one would be able to field a team.

    It was a really weird conversation anyway

    all are away from their teams atm

    why wouldn’t we pay them

    none of them are on a team

    ^ assume he means after this year but he didn’t say that and it doesn’t mean anything

    And yeah he’s not going to suspend players for being under investigation, especially not in this case where the union will have to look evil by defending them. But why not just say that?

    Apparently some people are not assuming their innocence which further illustrates why you don’t want to get into a fight with the union

      Suspensions while under investigation make sense when a person is in a role where their job is to interact with potential victims.

      Having a policy that suspends employees while they are under investigation increases opposition to investigations.

        Like there wasn’t opposition to this investigation from the start? 🤔

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    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.
