According to well-informed Rick Westhead from TSN, a major announcement is expected regarding the trial of the five former NHL players.
Cal Foote, Carter Hart, Ryan McLeod, Alex Formenton, and Dillon Dube are anticipated to learn the date of their trial tomorrow for a case dating back to 2018. They will face formal charges of serious misconduct.
Reports suggest that this stage of the process may not occur before April 2025 due to the backlog in the Canadian judicial system.
All the players have pleaded not guilty so far. The London police had reopened the investigation after initial inconclusive findings two years ago.
The five members of the 2018 Team Canada Junior at the World Championship abruptly left their NHL teams last winter.
It would be very surprising to see them back in the NHL again. No official announcement has been made to that effect. The trial will determine what happens next.
