Hockey Canada has been under investigation after two alleged sexual assault claims have been made against the members of Team Canada's World Junior Hockey team from 2003's tournament in Halifax Nova Scotia, and 2018's team from London Ontario.
Hockey Canada did a lackluster investigation to basically sweep it under a rug, but it's been blown open after the Canadian Government demanded answers.
CBC News has just reported that the Halifax police now have the names of at least two members of the 2003 Team Canada.
"A person who was shown a video of the alleged incident after it occurred in 2003 said reported the identities of two players he recognized in the video in a recent interview with police.�The source informed he told Halifax police he recognized the 2003 World Junior player holding the camcorder at the beginning of the video because he held the camera up to his face."
«[The video] made me sick to my stomach,» the source told CBC News. «I knew what I was watching was wrong.
«I recognized two of the players and both of them went on to have NHL careers.»

"Her head was just turned to the side and she wasn't active," the source said.
This came while Hockey Canada was already dealing with an investigation regarding the 2018 sexual assault allegations in an incident that featured eight members of the country's 2018 world junior team, following a gala in London, Ontario.
After the news of 2003's team was being invested several players would come forward to deny their involvement of the allegations. Most have said that they weren't even aware of the allegations until they became public last month.
Former NHLers PA Parenteau, Carlo Colaiacovo, Dan Paille and Jordin Tootoo have all cleared their names but interestingly enough team Canada's 2003's goaltender Marc Andre Fleury has yet to come forward and when Fleury was confronted by Quebec's La Presse newspaper earlier this month he just declined to answer any questions.
