Peel Regional Police are investigating sexual assault allegations from 2014 involving eight former OHL players. This raises so many questions. What took so long for this to come to light? How will this impact the players involved, their careers, and their lives, regardless of the investigation's outcome? This situation also casts a shadow over the OHL and junior hockey in general. Does this incident point to a larger, systemic issue within the culture of junior hockey? How can we better protect young athletes and ensure accountability? I predict this will spark a much-needed conversation about player welfare, consent, and the responsibility of teams and leagues to create a safe environment. What changes, if any, do you think the OHL needs to implement to prevent similar incidents in the future?
