Five players suspended due to the 2018 Team Canada Junior scandal: last minute development by journalist Katie Strang
While all the eyes of the hockey world are fixed on the case of the scandal involving the 2018 edition of Team Canada Junior, and while many sources claim that an NHL announcement could be made official today, journalist Katie Strang has some news.
See what she just posted.
"According to the spokesperson for the London police, contacted this morning, the investigation into the allegations targeting Team Canada Junior 2018 remains active and ongoing." - Katie Strang
You can guess that this is causing a lot of frustration among the fans, as can be seen in the comments, whereas it would be very surprising if the National Hockey League makes an announcement before the conclusion of the police investigation.
So we must wait some more.
Many fans are beginning to lose patience, and rightly so.
This case has been dragging on for so long, and for months we have been told that an announcement is imminent.
We understand the complexity of the case, but with training camps approaching, time is beginning to run out.
Will the NHL really let these players participate in the camps?
This would be extremely surprising, because they already know the identity of the players involved.
Let us remember that five of these targeted players are reportedly about to be suspended by the NHL and we are still waiting, for over a month now, for the final confirmation with the identity of these five players.
To be continued! We know it's disappointing, but we have to bring you the latest updates and developments.
