Onetime Ottawa Senators player Alex Formenton and four other former NHL players who are charged in an alleged 2018 sexual assault received permission from a judge to skip pre-trial motions in their case so they can work and train elsewhere.
While several of the players are playing hockey overseas, Formenton is working in construction and wrote in an affidavit: «I have been learning to operate excavators, skid-steer loaders and rollers, Having focused on hockey my entire life, it is challenging to transition to a new line of work.»
Former Flyers goalie Carter Hart's affidavit says he is moving from Alberta to Tennessee to work out full time and said he has hired an immigration lawyer because he has been refused entry to the U.S. after being charged.
