Citing anonymous sources, TSN reported Carter Hart of the Philadelphia Flyers, Michael McLeod and Cal Foote of the New Jersey Devils and Dube have all been called to present themselves to police to be charged with sexual assault in connection with an alleged incident at a Hockey Canada event in London in 2018.
In a statement to TSN’s Rick Westhead on Tuesday afternoon, Dube’s lawyers, Louis P. Strezos and Kaleigh Davidson, confirmed he was charged.
“The London Police Service have charged Mr. Dube with sexual assault. He will plead not guilty and maintains his innocence,” the statement read.
“He will defend the allegations in court. We ask that you respect the privacy of Mr. Dube and that of his family.”
They said there would be no further comment at this time.
CTV News Calgary has reached out to the Calgary Flames for comment and is awaiting a response.
