I disagree. Dube's statement sounds a lot different than most of the others, especially those of players who weren't charged. Most of the players not charged gave more strong wording indicating that they weren't involved and condemned the incident, or at the very least had alibies and didn't say much else. Dube's statement never said that he wasn't involved, only that he didn't do anything criminal. His agent also made veiled threats if anyone said otherwise, which I didn't see come from anyone else, other than Carter Hart's side.
Here is Dube's response. They never say that he wasn't involved, only that he didn't do any criminal wrongdoings, and he is cooperating. Carter Hart's reps gave a pretty similar statement.
Quote:
"All of CBC News' questions will be asked and answered during the pending NHL investigation. Dillon did not engage in any wrongdoing, and he co-operated fully with the independent London Police Service investigation in 2018, through which all players were then cleared of any wrongdoing.
"Naming Dillon or attempting to associate him in any way with alleged criminal wrongdoing, or alleging that he was not co-operative with the London police or was unwilling to co-operate with Hockey Canada, will constitute materially false statements constituting defamation causing serious financial and reputational harm," David Cowan, agent for Dubé wrote to CBC.
In a Sept. 23 media appearance, Dubé told a Sportsnet columnist that "I've co-operated in any way possible and will continue co-operating. I've done everything I can to co-operate."
"I will continue to do that. With it going on, I wish I could share more, but that's kind of all I can share up to this point," Dubé said.
He added to his statement the next day:
"With (the investigation) going on, I wish I could share more. But that's all I can share to this point. I would love to be transparent. I know that's all I can really say on it to be honest. For me, I wish I could tell."

Compare that to the others.
