TSN reporter Rick Westhead has consistently been willing to take on challenging stories that other reporters don't want to get involved in. Today he gave us another key update on the 2018 Hockey Canada investigation.

Possible Charges From 2018 Hockey Canada Investigation Revealed

The entire 2018 Hockey Canada investigation seems to be coming to a head as multiple indicators all point to a conclusion coming shortly. Granted, there is still a lengthy legal process to take place, but it seems that the identities of the players involved will be revealed in the coming days. Additionally, some of the charges these players are facing have now come out.

"Several criminal lawyers who specialize in SA cases have told me over the past days they expected former 2018 World Juniors players facing prosecution for allegations in London, Ont., might face charges of SA and forceable confinement. Alex Formenton's attorney Daniel Brown told me today that the former Senators player has not been charged with either of those offences.
He declined to elaborate on what Formenton has been charged with.
If Formenton has been charged with common allegations, he faces a maximum 10 years in prison if he's found guilty. People convicted of SA a maximum of 14 years." - Rick Westhead

Now one of the players long rumored to be involved in the investigation has become the first to turn himself into the authorities.
