A London, Ont., judge is set to hear legal arguments on Monday in the ******* ******** case of five members of Canada’s 2018 world junior hockey team.

Dillon Dube, Carter Hart, Michael McLeod, Cal Foote and Alex Formenton were charged with ******* ******** earlier this year in an incident that allegedly took place in the city in June 2018.

McLeod also faces an additional charge of ******* ******** for “being a party to the offence.”

Lawyers for the players have said their clients plan to defend themselves against the allegations, and all five are expected to plead not guilty.
