Five hockey players have pleaded not-guilty on sexual assault charges.
They all entered the plea in a London, Ontario courtroom Tuesday morning, according to reports.
The five played for Team Canada at the 2018 World Juniors, a woman is accusing them of sexual assault at a team event the following summer.
Former Philadelphia Flyers goalie Carter Hart, as well as former Calgary Flame Dillon Dube, former New Jersey Devils Michael McLeod and Cal Foote and former Ottawa Senator Alex Formenton are at the beginning of their sexual assault trial.
The scandal sent shockwaves through Hockey Canada, resulting in parlimentary hearings and changes in leadership.
It also started a discussion about hockey culture, and a new code of conduct was created.
The trial is reportedly expected to last eight weeks.
