Article content

A woman alleged in a CTV report that aired Wednesday that she was sexually assaulted by eight OHL players in November 2014 at a house where a 19-year-old player she was in a relationship with was billeted while playing in the league. She said some of the players went on to play in the NHL.

The woman, now 32, said she reported the alleged incident to Ontario Provincial Police earlier this year.

The OHL said in a statement Thursday that it first became aware of sexual assault allegations on Wednesday.

The CTV report did not name the players alleged to have been involved or the team or teams they played for, and none of the allegations have been tested in court.

The report of the alleged incident comes as Hockey Canada continues to deal with sexual assault allegations against players on its 2016 and 2003 national junior teams.
