MAJOR: NHL Insider Believes League Will Take No Disciplinary Action In 2018 Hockey Canada Investigation
Canada's 2018 World Juniors team has been in the spotlight for quite some time now, and not for anything good. The team has been under investigation by London Police. Meanwhile, we have had no significant updates from London Police in several months.
London Police To End Hockey Canada Investigation?
The London Police have shared very few details with the public but Andy Strickland leaked a list of 5 players he expected to be suspended. Now it appears that list may not have been accurate as Frank Seravalli is now reporting that London Police wish to end the investigation.
"behind the scenes... what a lot of people seem to be whispering is that the London police service seems to not want to continue any further with their investigation".
When asked if this meant the investigation would be over soon, Seravalli responded, confirming that this is likely the case.
"That seems to be the thought. They've had enough time to look into this now and haven't really moved the ball down the field. I don't know if that means they haven't received the cooperation that they need or that they don't believe that there's any charges merited. I don't know what the answer is but it's clear to me from talking to people that the league just hasn't really gotten more from the LDN police service. Their own investigation has been more or less done. And they're sitting here waiting saying 'well if we're going to do something we need to all be on the same page' and that hasn't happened yet. "
It has been nearly five years since the alleged events occurred and it now seems that whatever happened that night may be lost to time. Unless charges are officially filed, which now seems unlikely, we may never know what evidence exists or existed.
