Flyers’ Hart among four NHL players charged with sexual assault

Philadelphia Flyers goalie Carter Hart was among four NHL players charged by police in London, Ontario in connection with an investigation into an alleged sexual assault by members of Canada’s 2018 world junior team, their lawyers said on Tuesday.
In addition to Hart, Mike McLeod and Cal Foote of the New Jersey Devils and Dillon Dube of the Calgary Flames were also charged.
Former NHL player Alex Formenton, a forward with HC Ambri-Piotta of Switzerland’s National League, was charged on Sunday.
Each of the players recently took a leave of absence from their respective teams.
The charges are related to an alleged group sexual assault of a woman in June 2018 following a Hockey Canada golf and gala event where the junior team was being honored for their gold medal win at the world junior championships.
