'Have s*x in front of nine other guys': Michael McLeod calls hotel group s*x encounter ‘weird' as Hockey Canada sexual assault scandal deepens
Michael McLeod's police interview takes center stage at the ongoing Hockey Canada sexual assualt trial (Imagn Images) The high-profile sexual assault trial involving five members of Canada's 2018 World Junior Hockey team continued this week with a police interview from New Jersey Devils forward Michael McLeod taking center stage in court. McLeod, one of the accused, described the night in question at a London, Ontario hotel in June 2018 as 'weird,' sharing details of events that unfolded after a night of drinking at a downtown bar. Michael McLeod describes chaotic scene and his attempts to assess consent In the 2018 interview with London police detective Stephen Newton, played in court on Tuesday, McLeod recalled returning to his hotel room with a 20-year-old woman he met at Jack's Bar on Richmond Row. He said the two had consensual sex, and later teammates began arriving at his room for food and socializing. The situation quickly became more complicated. According to McLeod, the woman began offering sex to others in the room and became frustrated when they declined. 'I was trying to make sure she was okay because this is, like, a weird situation that I wasn't expecting was going to happen with all the guys coming in,' McLeod told police. 'I just made sure she was okay with this.' McLeod said he filmed a video of the woman affirming her consent to the activity taking place. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Tips for the Purchasing of Used Vehicles: latest competitive rates answerpedia Learn More Undo He claimed the group, though intoxicated, was coherent and that several players, some in relationships, did not participate. Players' behavior, consent, and the line between legality and discomfort While McLeod said he tried to manage the escalating situation, including discouraging group sex in front of others, he also admitted that oral sex and further sexual encounters occurred between the woman and other players. 'She got upset... I had to, kind of, calm her down and say 'are you okay?' Literally, I told her no one is going to have sex in front of nine other guys,' McLeod stated. After the gathering ended around 4 a.m., McLeod said the woman was upset over a lost ring. He later messaged her on Instagram, learning from her that her mother had called the police. When asked if he had regrets, McLeod said: 'I'd probably just shut it down right away... probably go.' The trial remains ongoing as further testimonies are expected.

Moncton Wildcats break lengthy drought to become QMJHL champions
The Moncton Wildcats are Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League champions once again, breaking a 15-year drought. The team won 3-2 over the Rimouski Oceanic on Monday afternoon, taking home the Gilles-Courteau Trophy after six games in the best-of-seven series. Loke Johansson scored one goal, while Gabe Smith scored twice for the Cats, giving the team a 3-0 lead heading into the third period. Jonathan Fauchon and Jacob Mathieu scored for Rimouski in a late attempt to come back, but it wasn't enough. The Wildcats and Oceanic won't have long to rest. Both teams are playing in the Memorial Cup, which starts Friday night in Rimouski. Because Rimouski is this year's host team and they made it to the Q-league finals, it meant the other team playing them automatically qualified for the national tournament anyway. Moncton has won the Q-league title twice before — in 2006 and 2010 — back when the trophy was named the President's Cup and the league name was the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. The Wildcats' head coach is Gardiner MacDougall of Bedeque, P.E.I. He joined the team this season after coaching the University of New Brunswick's men's hockey team for 24 seasons, which won nine national university championships during his tenure and had a perfect season in 2023-24.

Settling for Silver: Mustangs fall in Centennial Cup Final
The Calgary Canucks won the 2025 Centennial Cup in Calgary on May 18, 2025. (Source: Centennial Cup) It's silver, again. The Melfort Mustangs second straight appearance at the Centennial Cup National Junior A Championship tournament ended with a 7-2 loss to the Calgary Canucks on Sunday night. It's the first time in 30-years that the host team has won the tournament. Calgary is the 12th host team to win since the tournament format began in 1985. 'We went from coming to the rink and hoping to win to 'we're going to win,' Canucks captain Bowen Singleton told Hockey Canada after the game. 'It's everything i've dreamed of.' The Mustangs finished second in Group B in the round robin, just one point behind the eventual champions with a record of 2-1-1-0. The Canucks struck first on a goal by Rhett Melynk, who tucked a loose puck past Mustangs goaltender Kristian Coombs on the powerplay. Ashton Paul drew the Mustangs even before the period was out. It was the second period where momentum really swung. The Canucks connected for three goals (Hayden Feschner, Landon Pappas and Nolan DuPont). It proved to be too big of a hole for the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) champions to climb out of. Jayden Joly scored just 1:18 into the final frame to chase Coombs from the crease. Madden Mulawka made four stops in a closing effort. The Mustangs have become the second team to lose in the title game in back-to-back seasons joining the Carleton Place Canadians. Zayden Sadlemeyer scored with 14 minutes to go but it was too little too late to mount a comeback. The Mustangs fell 7-2 to the Canucks who celebrated in front of a happy hometown crowd. The Mustangs played the stretch of the tournament without their leading scorer Reilley Kotai (39 regular season goals, 77 points) due to injury. The host team for the 2026 Centennial Cup has yet to be named.
