MAJOR | London Police updates on the investigation into the 2018 World Junior Scandal: Four players make radical social media changes
On Thursday evening, some reports came out on X regarding members of the 2018 Canadian World Junior team that is under investigation by the NHL and police in London, Ontario.
Posts on X showed that some members on that team - Carter Hart, Brett Howden, Dillon Dube and Jonah Gadjovich have all made their Instagram accounts private. It's important to note here though, that the only one for sure that has made their account private within the last day or so is Carter Hart, who also went as far as reportedly removing any mention of the Philadelphia Flyers. As for Howden, Dube and Gadjovich, several people on X are saying that they've been private on Instagram for quite a while now.
Note: While the results of the investigation have not come out yet and it's unclear when they will, it's important to remember that none of the names above have been implicated by either the NHL or London Police.
Katie Strang of The Athletic is reporting on Friday morning that London Police were reached for comment on the investigation and said that it is still ongoing.
"According to London Police spokesperson reached this morning, the investigation into 2018 WJC sexual assault allegations remains 'active and ongoing'."
With training camps around the National Hockey League opening in the coming weeks, teams are bracing for suspensions, but it doesn't sound like any information regarding the investigation will be coming out soon. Both the NHL and London Police don't want to prematurely release any information and want to do a thorough job before sharing news of this magnitude.
