Five members of Canada's 2018 world junior hockey team have been summoned to London, Ontario, where they could face charges of sexual assault later this year. At a gala, London police opened an investigation in 2022 after hearing that Hockey Canada had settled a $3.5 million lawsuit with a woman who said she had been sexually assaulted by eight members of the gold medal-winning squad at a gala. Five players from the team were ordered to surrender to police in the city halfway between Toronto and Detroit to face sexual harassment charges, according to the Globe & Mail, quoting anonymous sources.

Daniel Briere, the Philadelphia Flyers' general manager, has been banned from pushing a woman's empty wheelchair down the stairs of an Erie, Pennsylvania bar earlier this year. Carson Briere, a former college hockey player at Arizona State and Mercyhurst, as well as former Mercyhurst lacrosse player Patrick Carrozzi, have been accepted by a Pennsylvania judge to enroll in a first-time, nonviolent offenders program. Both men will be on probation for 15 months, and if those sentences are completed in accordance with the court-ordered scheme, their charges of second-degree criminal mischief will be dropped and expunged from their record. Briere and Carrozzi are seen on a security camera at the top of a staircase in an Erie bar, where they push the wheelchair down the steps on March 11. Their steps, according to police, pose a risk to anyone coming up the stairs, as well as creating a dangerous situation by blocking the staircase.
