Today we have the first public statement from one of the five players who have been required to turn themselves into the police for the 2018 scandal involving the Canadian World Junior Championship Team.

A new report from hockey investigative reporter Rick Westhead has revealed a statement from the lawyer of Michael McLeod. According to the statement, McLeod has been officially charged and has pled not guilty.

The statement says that McLeod denies any wrongdoing and will vigorously defend himself. McLeod is the first but likely not the last to release a statement like this.
