Senators' Alex Formenton: Ordered to surrender to police

Formenton (personal) has been directed to surrender to London, Ontario police to be charged with sexual assault in connection with an alleged incident that occurred during a 2018 Hockey Canada event, TSN reports.

Per TSN, Formenton and four other individuals, who are all NHL players, are expected to surrender before the London Police Service holds a press conference Monday to provide a public update on the case. The five individuals are accused of sexually assaulting a woman at a London hotel on June 19, 2018, following a Hockey Canada Foundation golf and gala event. Formenton, who hasn't played in the NHL since 2021-22 but is on the Senators' reserve list as an unsigned restricted free agent, remains on an indefinite leave of absence from Swiss club Ambri Piotta.
