Players Suspended: Team Canada 2018 Scandal's Investigation Officially Completed
In a dramatic turn of events, Hockey Canada has reached a pivotal moment in the 2018 Team Canada Junior scandal, making a major announcement that has sent shockwaves through the hockey community.
The first bombshell dropped as Hockey Canada declared, ''all players from the 2018 national junior team remain suspended from Hockey Canada and are currently ineligible as players, coaches, officials, or volunteers within programs sanctioned by the organization.''
After a prolonged period of uncertainty, Hockey Canada has officially drawn the curtain on its investigation as it's been 'completed'. However, the critical findings that could potentially unravel the mystery remain veiled in secrecy, thanks to the ongoing appeal process, further stretching the public's patience.

In November 2022, an independent adjudicative panel was provided with Henein Hutchison Robitaille LLP's final investigative report regarding allegations against the 2018 National Junior Team in June 2018. The panel was tasked with holding a hearing with a view to determining whether certain members of the 2018 National Junior Team breached Hockey Canada's code of conduct, and if so, what sanctions should be imposed against those players.
That hearing is complete and the panel has provided its final adjudicative report to all involved parties.
Shortly thereafter, a notice of appeal was filed, as is permitted under Hockey Canada's Investigation and Adjudication Procedures. As the appeal process, which we anticipate will begin in the near future, will be conducted in-camera, we are not able to share details of the report, including its findings at this time to ensure that we do not interfere with the integrity of the appeal process.
