HockeyFeed also has an article with a description of the video and text message exchange between the victim and 1 of the 5 players. Source

Carter Hart and Dillon Dube, both members of junior Team Canada 2018, have taken leaves from their NHL teams. Might be just a coincidence, unrelated, but it appears as though some kind of ruling on the sexual assault scandal may be coming shortly.

I personally think we should hold off on the speculation. We have seen recently with the Perry/Bedard situation how speculation, even when lighthearted here on the internet, can be extremely hurtful to the people involved. Imagine Carter Hart is ill or going through the loss of a family member, and now the internet is accusing him of sexual assault.

I personally say we wait for more information before we start speculating wildly. Let's be better than Reddit here.

Edit: well, it's official now. Hart's lawyers confirmed he has been accused of sexual assault.
