The ongoing trial involving five former members of Canada's 2018 World Junior Hockey team is drawing significant attention as Taylor Raddysh, currently with the Washington Capitals, testifies remotely. The players facing allegations, including Michael McLeod and Carter Hart, have pleaded not guilty to sexual assault related to an incident in June 2018 at a London hotel.

Raddysh's testimony revealed that while he was present during the gala celebrating their championship, he has limited recollections of the events of that night. He mentioned seeing McLeod and another teammate in a hotel room with a woman but could not recall the specifics, raising questions about the incident's circumstances and the implications for the athletes involved.
