Five members of Canada's 2018 world junior hockey team pleaded not guilty Tuesday and the jurors who will hear their sexual assault case were selected.
Dillon Dube, Carter Hart, Michael McLeod, Cal Foote and Alex Formenton were charged with sexual assault last year for an incident that allegedly took place in June 2018 when they were in London, Ontario, for a Hockey Canada gala celebrating their gold-medal win at that year's world junior tournament.
McLeod is facing an additional charge of being a party to the offense of sexual assault.
