Elliot, as you and I talked about on radio the other day, this is not the end of anything, but the end of the beginning of something.

The June 2018 sexual assaults involving the 2018 Canadian World Junior

Hockey Team. Five players have been instructed by London police to surrender

in association and in connection with the alleged

sexual assault. What do we know right now? We anticipate certainly a press

conference on the fifth by London Police, but where is the story at right now?

Obviously, Jeff, this is a seismic time for all the wrong reasons.

It's a very, very sad story and I think one we all

wish did not exist. I thought we would hear something a few times after last season.

Around the draft there was a lot of noise that we would get some clarity

and we didn't.

Around training camp there was a lot of noise that we would get some clarity and we didn't.

And you know if any time Commissioner Betman would have an availability, he would be asked

about it and he would say things along the lines of, we're getting there and I think once he said

hopefully we're closer to the end

But you know we don't have anything to announce or say at this time and finally I had the chance to sit down with one person who has a lot to do with what's going on and what they told

me was it was going to be very hard to get any closure without legal charges because I think that it was made very clear

that if anything was put out into the public sphere without proof, there would be legal ramifications,

lawsuit, something like that.

I was basically just told without criminal charges it was going to be very very difficult if not impossible to move the situation along or get any clarity or closure.

You know, for example, with Hockey Canada in particular,

they have a report done, It's in its appeal process. You know Hockey Canada took a lot of criticism for the way they handled this at the beginning.
