They said they found more evidence. That would do it.

Listen to them....they keep saying this us not 1 case, then it was re-opened....which is just bull. This never gets ti this point without Rick Whitehead pushing and digging into this. He did their job.

Oh you knew this was going to be said and will be repeated ad infinitum until this is out of the courts.

So many reporters asked questions they weren't going to be able to answer

Yes, was really frustrating. I'm not sure what's even the cliff notes of this. McLeod officialy confirmed as Player1, also the sergeant hasn't been in contact w NHL in last few months. Anything else?

Does anyone have information on how this was reopened in 2022? Was it Westhead? Did the discovery of the Hockey Canada funding kick this off or was that just part of reopening this?

note: like the actual reason, not what London Police say

I find it interesting that the Chief retired and the lead investigator was put there after the original investigation.

Thanks, the details on when HC settled and when it became public were not clear to me, but now they are

I think the LPS were fairly transparent, within the limits of 'don't blow the case at the presser.' It'll probably end up being a combination of her family and other advocates and media not happy they weren't pressing charges and new evidence/witnesses who came forward during the Hockey Canada internal investigation. That info would've been shared with police and could've resulted in the review. I didn't have a problem with the presser. The new Chief admitted he was not happy with the time it took, changed all the detectives involved and added to the VAW and SA teams who use the review Committee as intended. It was an admission it took too long, now we wait and see who the witnesses are.

It could be confirmation bias on my part, but from the timeline @MiamiScreamingEagles posted this all came back up because TSN/Rick Westhead got word that HC settled with the victim in this case. Maybe more of a stretch but still likely that this was reopened because it came out where the funds for settlement came from.

I see little reason to doubt that this all stays hidden if Westhead doesn’t write about it

 

[Kelmitchell2]

So with McCleod getting 2 charges does that make him the ring leader? I didn't get a chance to watch the press conference, dealing with the baby's insurance stuff

It was Westhead's reporting that blew the Hockey Canada slush fund scandal into the open for sure. The settlement brought the victim and her family back into the spotlight. HC's board and exec got purged, HC started its independent review, and the police chief retired after ordering a review. The new chief replaced the detectives on the case and they clearly had more evidence/testimony from people who came forward. A lot of police departments gloss over SA claims, to their discredit. It's esp. bad when there is a huge backlog of rape kits to process, i.e. never sent to the lab for DNA testing. A real scandal and it's getting cleaned up in Canada at least, over time.

 

[Kelmitchell2]

Yes

That's so wild, my mom out of all people said it'd be him. Why? Because out of the 5 players that was the one she said she'd be most eager to sleep with if she were younger

My mother for you ladies and Gentlemen

To me it read like a Hostage comment.

These 5 assholes don’t deserve to have their names mentioned.
So they are The 5 assholes from here on out.

I suppose this allows a creative GM more room to take on dead weight in a prospective deal…

Danny has to be thinking, "I guess it's time to give more than 3M per year to Seeler."

I thought the proper "forum" was HFBoards....????

Pfft ...My Cousin Vinny legal team.

At least Hart is used to being behind porous defenses.

Consent or not, and there “may” have been, I won’t go as far as to say not.

To do that to a young woman. Is just sick. f*** Hart. He’s made enough money to join the plebs in regular life after it’s done.

I don’t really want to know, and hope it’s not made public - but what’s the defense here? No we didn’t do it at all? Or no we had consent to do it? Option two is such a sleazy answer.
