NHL insider Frank Seravalli had hinted earlier in the summer that the aftermath of this scandal could lead to significant consequences for players. Now, during a recent episode of Cam and Strick, Andy dropped a bombshell by revealing that five NHL players face suspension due to their involvement in the WJC 2018 Scandal.
While the exact names remain undisclosed at this point, it's worth noting that these players are believed to be significant figures in the league. The situation has raised questions and concerns across the NHL community.
Two members of the St. Louis Blues, Jordan Kyrou and Robert Thomas, who were part of the 2018 Hockey Canada team, have publicly asserted their innocence regarding the allegations. Other players have followed suit, denying any involvement.
A cluster of players represented by the same agency, including Taylor Raddysh, Carter Hart, Jake Bean, Kale Clague, and Colton Point, have also issued statements distancing themselves from the scandal. Additional players like Cale Makar, Victor Mete, Connor Timmins, Sam Steel, and Jonah Gadjovich have firmly denied any participation.
The hockey world now awaits further developments, especially the revelation of the players' identities, as this investigation casts a shadow over the sport and its reputation.
