Hockey Canada said it accepted the board's recommendations for continued suspensions and reinstatement dates for the five players.
Hockey Canada has upheld suspensions for four players who were acquitted of sexual assault charges in 2018, according to an independent appeal board. Michael McLeod, Alex Formenton, Dillon Dube, and Carter Hart will serve suspensions until November 10, 2026, 2027, 2028, and 2030, respectively. Formenton is set to be reinstated immediately, while Foote remains suspended until November 10, 2026.
All other players from the 2018 world junior team are eligible for consideration to participate in Hockey Canada-sanctioned programs, with enhanced screening for those potentially representing Canada internationally.
