Former junior league hockey executive accused of child sexual exploitation
Tyler King was charged in relation to his time as an executive on junior hockey team. The Alberta RCMP believes additional victims may live in B.C., Ontario and Saskatchewan.
A former junior league hockey executive is facing multiple charges of child sexual exploitation after a two-year investigation by the RCMP. Tyler King, 39, a Canadian citizen living in the U.S., was arrested at a Canada-U.S. border crossing in Ontario on Friday and is expected to return to Alberta later in the week. King is accused of soliciting and compensating underage minor league hockey players for intimate videos and pictures, resulting in charges including three counts of luring a person under 18, sexual exploitation of a young person, and making child pornography.
The investigation identified three victims, all under 18, from Saskatchewan and Alberta. King served as the hockey team’s assistant general manager of business operations and the play-by-play voice for the Okotoks Oilers Hockey Association. He moved to British Columbia in 2024 to work for the Nanaimo Clippers Junior A Hockey Team, where it is likely there may also be victims.
The RCMP is urging any potential victims to come forward, as the investigation remains active and the number of victims is still unclear.
