In breaking news, this Calgary Flames prospect has officially begun his court trial and potentially faces a sentence of decades in prison.

Topi Roni, selected by the Calgary Flames in the second round in 2022, has been facing criminal charges for crimes against a woman in his home country of Finland. Ronni, who is now 19, was a minor at the time of the alleged incident.

Ronni's case is now set to go to trial, and it will occur behind closed doors. Ronni has not commented on the trial, but had previously stated he would fight for his innocence.

The Calgary Flames have also released a statement on their prospect, stating that they became aware of the incident after the draft, and will allow the legal proceedings to take place.
