According to the lawsuit, the players directed her to fondle her genitals, and perform oral sex on them. The players also allegedly straddled the plaintiff while placing
their genitals in her face, slapped the plaintiff on her buttocks, spat on her, ejaculated in and on her, engaged in vaginal intercourse with her, pressured her from
leaving the room when she tried to, and engaged in other
sexual activities with her.
It was stated that a member of the team Canada roster invited the girl to a bar, which afterwards invited her back to his hotel which then he proceeded to engage in sexual inter course with her, afterwards unknowingly invited the other players into the room without the girls consent.
It has been identified that 8 defendants of the sexual assault were CHL players that were apart of the world juniors gold medal roster of 2018.
It is stated that the allegations made in court were never proven, and now a settlement has been reached between the CHL, Hockey Canada and the girl who was involved.
It seems as if the team was aware, but nobody spoke up- which should make each player accountable. But in court they reached a settlement of assuming a large amount of money to push it away.
