""Upon their full acquittal by Superior Court Justice Maria Carroccia, we initiated discussions with the NHL regarding the players' return to work.

Five players—Michael McLeod, Dillon Dube, Cal Foote, Alex Formenton and Carter Hart—were acquitted of sexual assault charges after a two-month trial and can resume NHL play when suspensions expire Dec. 1.

The players expressed regret and remorse and the NHLPA said the matter is considered closed.
