Too many Team Canada players have come forward in gang rape allegations meaning someone is lying!

While this offseason was supposed to be about coveted free agents testing the market, the attention has been rightfully so turned towards the messy situation taken over at Hockey Canada.

In May, news broke that Hockey Canada quietly settled a lawsuit filed by a woman who alleges she was sexually assaulted by eight unnamed players, including several members of the country’s 2018 world junior team, following a gala in London, Ontario.

The players were not identified in court documents. However, some members of that roster have spoken out about the incident. St. Louis Blues forwards Robert Thomas and Jordan Kyrou released separate statements on social media Tuesday saying they had no involvement in the alleged incident. The agency representing Carter Hart, Jake Bean, Kale Clague, Colton Point, and Taylor Raddysh also released a statement denying any involvement in the incident on behalf of the players.

Four other players from that Canadian championship team — Cale Makar, Victor Mete, Conor Timmins and Jonah Gadjovich — have also publicly stated they weren’t involved in previous statements.

Fans started putting two and two together: 8 members of the team had declined to comment on the investigation when we put the information together on Tuesday. They were: Alex Formenton, Sam Steel, Max Comtois, Tyler Steenburgen, Drake Batherson, Michael McLeod, Boris Katchouk and Brett Howden. Now, that doesn’t mean that these players have been implicated in anything, it’s simply matter of fact. These 8 young men have refused to comment, while their teammates have come out and have made statements saying that they were not involved and had no knowledge of the allegations at the time.

However, late on Tuesday, NHL player agent Gerry Johannson posted a statement regarding his client Sam Steel and the 2018 World Junior team investigations/allegations.

Clearly, if they all started to deny, someone is lying.

This case is getting so heavy to report. Especially with new details emerging as the investigation is building a case against the alleged victim.

On Tuesday, lawyers for Hockey Canada released text messages and videos to The Globe and Mail which seem to contradict, but nevertheless shed more light onto what exactly happened that evening. First, the Globe acquired videos which showed the alleged victim stating that the acts that evening were consensual. It should be noted that these statements could be made under duress.

The alleged victim and her mother later went to police : in her statement, the woman claims alleges “she felt an imminent fear of physical harm and at times was crying and tried to leave the room” but was “directed, manipulated and intimidated into remaining, after which she was subjected to further sexual assaults.”

Everyone is hoping to get to the truth, but with less than 8 players having declined to comment on the investigation, we know someone is already lying! This is all circumstantial..
