CALGARY, Alberta -- Three of the five players acquitted of sexual assault in the high-profile 2018 Canada world junior case have had their international play suspensions get extended for at least another year, with only one set for immediate reinstatement.
Hockey Canada on Wednesday extended Michael McLeod's ban from representing the country until Nov. 10, 2030, Dillon Dube through the same date in 2028 and Carter Hart through that date in 2027. Cal Foote's suspension will end this November, while Alex Formenton has been reinstated.
Last year, the NHL allowed the players to sign contracts beginning in October. Hart signed with Vegas while Dube joined St. Louis. A team in Sweden terminated an agreement with Foote late last month while McLeod is under contract in the KHL for two seasons.
