No Cap: Hockey Bros Off the Hook, Canada vs. Trump, and the Hockey World's Mad

The Deets

Hockey Drama: "Not Guilty," But the Tea is Still Spilling

Okay, so five former world junior hockey players were facing some SERIOUS heat for sexual assault, right? Well, the judge just dropped the verdict, and it's "not guilty" across the board. The whole thing went down at some hotel back in 2018. But the Crown attorneys had a major L proving their case. One of their main witnesses, Brett Howden, was straight-up forgetting crucial deets. Like, sus. The lawyers for the hockey players were like, "Yeah, my client's innocent, duh."

Canada vs. Trump: The Trade War is Real

So, Canada ships a TON of stuff (like, over 70%) to the U.S. But, like, only a little over 17% from the U.S. comes to Canada. Homeboy Trump is making things mad difficult with tariffs, and Canada's exports to the U.S. are starting to dip. What's Canada gonna do? They're trying to find new friends to trade with, cutting red tape, and even thinking about tax cuts to be more competitive. They're even pushing Bill C-5 to fast-track big projects. It's all about Canada trying to stay on top, even if it means playing dirty pool.

Hockey World Erupts: NHL vs. NHLPA

The NHL is big mad about the "not guilty" verdict. They dropped a statement saying the allegations were "very disturbing" and the players' behavior was "unacceptable." They're doing their own review, and the players are benched until it's done. But the NHLPA? They're throwing hands! They think the players should be able to play and that the NHL is violating the collective bargaining agreement. This is gonna be a whole saga, bet.
