CBC News screenshot of an article about 5 hockey players. Top of photo shows 5 white men in suits, below the picture is the following: “from left: Former Canadian world junior hockey teammates Carter hart, Alex Formenton, cal Foote, Michael McLeod and Dillon Dubé are unrestricted free agents and can sign with an nhl team oct 15 as they wait for full reinstatement”.

With hockey season upon us, let’s never forget the names of the 5 men E.M. accused of rape. They’re eligible to sign with teams oct 15& could be seen back on the ice as early as Dec 1st. Just because they could afford the best lawyers, doesn’t mean they’re innocent. #IStandWithEM #nhl #hockeycanada

He’s wants a fresh start! Yeah, so does #IStandWithEM

Hart participated in the sex scandal although from testimony he was going along to get along so perhaps wasn’t as much a creep as 3 of the other 4. (Lots of other players walked away, turning down the opportunity.
#McLeodWasTheRongLeader

I want to once again express disgust at NHL & NHL Players Association - the latter is the most disgusting partner in this agreement. At least the NHL acknowledged the behaviour was unacceptable & against the standards of the org.

I was so overwhelmed & triggered after the judge was so insulting to EM (all while the Epstein s-show was once again happening) that I didn’t get around to reading this straight forward Q&A.
How many other survivors are still feeling the aftermath?

#NotGuiltyIsNotTheSameAsInnocent

This is how I feel about hockey players and coaches and teams who don’t have the moral courage to call out inappropriate behaviour. I’m looking right at you Adam Foote and Canucks. Tell us what you’re doing about it.

‘At one point 10 hockey players were in the room…5 wisely left…but not one tried to stop what was happening or lead EM to safety.’

Not one. Not a single one.

Today’s Globe & Mail front page got order of photos right, finally. The least not guilty & definitely not innocent on left (McLeod, the ringleader, Foote the tea bagger, & Dube the slapper) to most not guilty but not innocent (Formenton the led, and Hart the ok-ooh-maybe-not-okay).

NHLPA says the NHL is wrong & all 5 players - even McLeod- should be allowed to play.
Can players be banned for non-criminal findings? For actions as Jrs?
(wonder how many NHL players have dice in this game?)

“…even if not found to be criminal…the behaviour at issue was unacceptable.”
Yup. 1000%

Sexual assault by junior hockey players was so common that “…Hockey Canada had maintained a secret slush fund to compensate sexual assault survivors…”

Screenshot of cbc news interview, showing lawyer for Carter Hart - hockey player accused of rape - talking in London Ontario. Bottom banner says “5 former hockey Canada players found not guilty of all charges”. Breaking news - all 5 hockey players acquitted. Crown has 30 days to file a notice of appeal in hockey Canada trial.” Behind lawyer, is a woman with gray curly hair, holding a sign that says “Thank you EM for your courage. In sol.”

Hero back there, making sure this sign is in the shot, when they’re interviewing the defence lawyers. #BelieveVictims #BelieveHer #IStandWithEM #hockeyCanada

I’m so focking tired of men getting away with sexual entitlement and worse. Why don’t men hold each other accountable and stop shotty behaviour when they see it? It won’t stop all the assaults but it’s a freaking start.

All 5 former Hockey Canada players found not guilty of sexual assault | CBC

I’m appalled by the entitlement culture in hockey; the inability for teammates/friends to hold each other accountable off the ice. This should never have happened.
Three of them are not innocent, they just were found not guilty beyond reasonable doubt.

Mothers raised those charged with raping and taping EM…

A mother raised the judge who didn’t do right by her…

The system is solidly against supporting women who have been abused.

As a 2024 G&M article says re the Kelowna Rockets’ silence on Foote & Dubé banners, “Their reluctance to speak about the issue is a lost opportunity to show support for human rights…That the team is not saying anything is very powerful…I don’t believe it sends the right message.’”

Opinion: Porn isn’t to blame for sexual assault Discussions of a ‘porn-star persona’ in the Hockey Canada sexual-assault trial have brought the issue of the influence and accessibility of porn in our culture to the fore again

Really important opinion piece on the hockey sex scandals, focussed on the current one with E.M., but giving incredibly disturbing background about perpetual hockey sex scandals. Read through to the end for an explanation of active compliance without consent.

Why do our courts allow lawyers to make literally false claims like this in their arguments? Megan Savard is not an expert in the science of traumatic disassociation, and on top of that she's literally wrong. Why isn't there a higher standard for factual accuracy for professionals? #istandwithEM
