Where are the players from the Hockey Canada scandal after acquittal?
The NHL reinstated all five after their acquittals, while Hockey Canada’s conduct ruling left some players barred from national programs for years.
On September 9, Alex Formenton signed a one-year contract with the Edmonton Oilers, triggering an online petition and a protest outside Rogers Arena on Saturday when the team opened its pre-season schedule.
Five former members of Canada's 2018 world junior hockey team, including Formenton, were acquitted in July 2025 of sexual assault charges stemming from a 2018 Hockey Canada gala in London, Ont.
Carter Hart signed a two-year, $4-million contract with the Vegas Golden Knights in October 2025, while Dillon Dubé joined the St. Louis Blues on July 1 following a professional tryout with their American Hockey League affiliate.
Cal Foote signed with the Chicago Wolves in the American Hockey League in December 2025, recording four goals and 14 assists in 48 games; Michael McLeod joined the KHL's Avangard Omsk in October 2025.
Suspensions from Hockey Canada remain in effect for three players, with Dubé ineligible for reinstatement until November 10, 2028, Foote eligible on November 10, and McLeod ineligible until November 10, 2030.
