SERIOUS ACCUSATIONS ON THE YOUNG MAN

'' Flames 2022 2nd-round pick Topi Ronni has been accused of r*pe and is facing criminal charges, according to his Finnish club Tappara. ''

We take this matter seriously and will let the legal process follow its course.
We have no further comment at this time.''
