O'Shea Red Crow was memorialized on the Facebook page for the Vernal Oilers, a Junior A hockey team in the United States Premier Hockey League, on Monday. In the post, the team said Red Crow joined them for the 2022/23 season and recorded 21 points in his first 22 games with the team, making a name for himself as 'one of the most feared players.' The Oilers said Red Crow's season ended early because of an injury, but he made his mark with the club. 'The definition of a 'gentle giant,' O'Shea was beloved by not only his Oiler teammates and coaches, but also the entire Vernal community,' the post read. 'Our condolences go out to the Red Crow family, his teammates and fans in Vernal, and the entire Siksika Nation.' CTV News spoke with Red Crow's family, who confirmed that he was the victim of the tragic incident on Sunday. Police were called to the 1100 block of Third Street S.E. just after 5 a.m. on June 1 for reports that a man had fallen from a building. Red Crow was found in medical distress and he was taken to hospital in life-threatening condition. He later died in hospital. Another one of Red Crow's former teams, the Agra Risk Wheatland Kings, set up a memorial table at the Strathmore Family Centre arena on Monday. 'He was a quiet presence in the room, soft-spoken, humble, and always respectful. While he may not have been the loudest voice on the team, he was part of our brotherhood, and his loss is deeply felt by those who shared the ice with him,' the Kings wrote of Red Crow's time with them. 'Our hearts are with O'Shea's family, friends, and all who were fortunate enough to know him. This is a devastating and tragic loss of a life taken far too soon.'

'Have s*x in front of nine other guys': Michael McLeod calls hotel group s*x encounter ‘weird' as Hockey Canada sexual assault scandal deepens
Michael McLeod's police interview takes center stage at the ongoing Hockey Canada sexual assualt trial (Imagn Images) The high-profile sexual assault trial involving five members of Canada's 2018 World Junior Hockey team continued this week with a police interview from New Jersey Devils forward Michael McLeod taking center stage in court. McLeod, one of the accused, described the night in question at a London, Ontario hotel in June 2018 as 'weird,' sharing details of events that unfolded after a night of drinking at a downtown bar. Michael McLeod describes chaotic scene and his attempts to assess consent In the 2018 interview with London police detective Stephen Newton, played in court on Tuesday, McLeod recalled returning to his hotel room with a 20-year-old woman he met at Jack's Bar on Richmond Row. He said the two had consensual sex, and later teammates began arriving at his room for food and socializing. The situation quickly became more complicated. According to McLeod, the woman began offering sex to others in the room and became frustrated when they declined. 'I was trying to make sure she was okay because this is, like, a weird situation that I wasn't expecting was going to happen with all the guys coming in,' McLeod told police. 'I just made sure she was okay with this.' McLeod said he filmed a video of the woman affirming her consent to the activity taking place. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Tips for the Purchasing of Used Vehicles: latest competitive rates answerpedia Learn More Undo He claimed the group, though intoxicated, was coherent and that several players, some in relationships, did not participate. Players' behavior, consent, and the line between legality and discomfort While McLeod said he tried to manage the escalating situation, including discouraging group sex in front of others, he also admitted that oral sex and further sexual encounters occurred between the woman and other players. 'She got upset... I had to, kind of, calm her down and say 'are you okay?' Literally, I told her no one is going to have sex in front of nine other guys,' McLeod stated. After the gathering ended around 4 a.m., McLeod said the woman was upset over a lost ring. He later messaged her on Instagram, learning from her that her mother had called the police. When asked if he had regrets, McLeod said: 'I'd probably just shut it down right away... probably go.' The trial remains ongoing as further testimonies are expected.

Moncton Wildcats break lengthy drought to become QMJHL champions
The Moncton Wildcats are Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League champions once again, breaking a 15-year drought. The team won 3-2 over the Rimouski Oceanic on Monday afternoon, taking home the Gilles-Courteau Trophy after six games in the best-of-seven series. Loke Johansson scored one goal, while Gabe Smith scored twice for the Cats, giving the team a 3-0 lead heading into the third period. Jonathan Fauchon and Jacob Mathieu scored for Rimouski in a late attempt to come back, but it wasn't enough. The Wildcats and Oceanic won't have long to rest. Both teams are playing in the Memorial Cup, which starts Friday night in Rimouski. Because Rimouski is this year's host team and they made it to the Q-league finals, it meant the other team playing them automatically qualified for the national tournament anyway. Moncton has won the Q-league title twice before — in 2006 and 2010 — back when the trophy was named the President's Cup and the league name was the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. The Wildcats' head coach is Gardiner MacDougall of Bedeque, P.E.I. He joined the team this season after coaching the University of New Brunswick's men's hockey team for 24 seasons, which won nine national university championships during his tenure and had a perfect season in 2023-24.
