@cnn: Within minutes of starting to read her verdict, the words of Justice Maria Carroccia resonated across Canada as she bluntly assessed that, “I do not find the evidence of E.M. to be either credible or reliable.” Five professional hockey players -- Michael McLeod, Cal Foote, Carter Hart, Dillon Dube and Alex Formenton -- were all acquitted on Thursday, according to the Associated Press, on charges of sexual assault in connection with a June 2018 incident at a hotel room in London, Ontario, when they were members of the country’s World Juniors hockey team. #canada #cnn #news

Happened to me with our minor league hockey team. I never reported it because I assumed this exact thing would happen. I went on a date with 1 player, went back to his place where he apparently lived w/ another teammate & 2 others were hanging out. They will continue to give players an out and tell women there’s no reason to report it

We all know they’re guilty. Anyone who knows hockey culture in Canada knows this is how they are.

This makes me actually ill. Not only did the victim put herself through all this, now she is being dragged through hell.

I’m so happy to see justice happen the way it should. Facts over feelings. Evidence was presented and truth was told. Too many women who play victim ruin men’s lives. It’s some women’s jobs and they get a high from it.

We stand behind you E.M. and commend you for the bravery it took to stand up. As a hockey mom with two sons, I will continue to have important conversations with my sons around consent, appropriate behaviour and respect for women. If we all do our part, we can help change the culture for ALL sports.
