The Ontario Hockey League has stated that it is taking the recent sexual assault allegations against eight former players very seriously and is prepared to cooperate with police investigations. This statement follows a CTV news report where a woman alleged she was assaulted by players in 2014, which has now drawn attention to ongoing concerns within hockey culture.
In a significant disclosure, the woman, now 32, described the traumatic incident that occurred in November 2014 involving eight OHL players. She reported these allegations to the Ontario Provincial Police earlier this year, bringing renewed scrutiny to the issue of sexual misconduct in the sport.
While the OHL has committed to investigating the allegations, it remains important to note that the names of the alleged players and the specifics about their teams have not been disclosed, and none of the allegations have been legally adjudicated yet.
The timing of the allegations against the OHL players coincides with a growing scrutiny of sexual assault claims in hockey, particularly in relation to Hockey Canada’s own investigations into claims against players from its junior teams.
