Michael McLeod, Dillon Dubé, Cal Foote, Alex Formenton and Carter Hart were found not guilty of sexual assault by a judge on Thursday.
Hart and four of his 2018 World Junior teammates were accused of sexually assaulting a woman in a London, Ontario hotel in 2018. He will not face prison time and is currently an NHL free agent.
