What happened: Hockey Canada confirmed four players remain suspended from all Hockey Canada programming after an independent appeal board found they breached the organization's code of conduct. The suspensions stand despite a criminal acquittal on sexual assault charges, according to BBC.

Why it matters: The ruling separates Hockey Canada's internal disciplinary standard from the criminal justice outcome, letting the suspensions hold even after the acquittal. It follows the same suspension Wire Report reported a day earlier.

What to watch: Hockey Canada has not indicated a timeline for resolving the remaining review or lifting the suspensions.
