Hockey Canada is claiming that no government funds were used to settle a lawsuit including eight Canadian Hockey League players, which were accused of sexually assaulting a woman. Some of these players were members of the 2017-18 World Junior team.

«Hockey Canada welcomes the opportunity to appear before the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage,» the organization wrote in a statement released Tuesday, a day after the committee voted during an in-camera session to hold a three-hour hearing in Ottawa on June 20 to discuss the settlement.

«We take the allegations against members of the 2017-18 National Junior Team as well as the safety and well-being of anyone participating in our programs extremely seriously We can say definitively that no government funds were used in the recent settlement of the lawsuit.»

There will be a hearing on June 20 that will be public and webcast, so maybe some more answers will seen, but as of right now, it seems that no other documents will come out before then.
