With the London Police press conference and news as of late, we've learned many things about the 2018 World Juniors scandal, and now, Hockey Canada has put out a statement about the investigation.
According to that statement, all players from that team, even the ones that weren't in attendance at the event where this incident took place will remain banned from representing Canada.
That statement means players such as Cale Makar, Robert Thomas, Jordan Kyrou and Drake Batherson will be ineligible for Team Canada, and now, Colorado's top defenseman has opened up on the situation.
Obviously, Makar doesn't want to talk too much about such a sensitive topic, and doesn't go too much into the Olympic ban with the event being two years away, but reiterates that he wasn't in attendance where this happened, and he, like everyone will wait for this to play out in the legal manner.
