Oh weird, that’s a bit different than the hockey Canada statement and Rick Westwheads wording to start the article made it sound like additional players were involved. Not like it matters, and this whole thing is gross.

Hockey Canada and the CHL were named as defendants in the case, as were eight unnamed CHL players “including but not limited to members of the Canada U20 Men’s Junior Hockey Team.” The hockey players are identified in the 18-page statement of claim as John Does 1-8.
