Michael McLeod, Dillon Dubé, Cal Foote, Alex Formenton and Carter Hart were found not guilty of sexual assault by a judge on Thursday.
Hart and four of his 2018 World Junior teammates were accused of sexually assaulting a woman in a London, Ontario hotel in 2018. He will not face prison time and is currently an NHL free agent.
Five players linked to the 2018 Hockey Canada scandal were acquitted of criminal charges in a Canadian court, yet their NHL return isn't guaranteed. The NHL is reviewing the judge's findings, emphasizing that its conduct policy operates independently of legal outcomes.
