....Can we talk about it now?
Nice to finally see some movement on this, from London Police.

If they are being charged, why are they not being named at this point?

Better to just name them than this reality show type reveal leading to all kinds of speculation.

When it comes to the law technicalities, you are not splitting hairs. You do things exactly by the book.
You know he's a guy talking on hockey forums and not a detective right

It's standard for the media not to name someone until a formal investigation or charge has been announced.

Right?
Name the five that are going to be charged, so the rest of the team can at least know they're finally in the clear.
I'm interested in seeing how the NHL's higher ups react to this news, once the names are released. Not a guarantee all five are current NHLers, nor were they NHLers at the time of the incident.
A lot of cases have publication bans in Canada, especially sexual assaults. In which case it is illegal for the media or any person to discuss the details of the case, especially the names of people/witnesses involved.
I imagine they’ll have reporters camped near the police station to see who comes in over the next couple of days

Good for Rick Westhead and all, but this is like chumming the waters before the news.

Be interesting to see, I'm sure the Crown Prosecutor has approved charges and agreed upon release conditions. In Canada most people are not afforded the right to leave the country when pending serious charges....as well as the USA often will not allow entry to the states if pending charges. Especially sexual assault charges.
So could any of the 5 playing hockey elsewhere have this be the end of their hockey season/career.
Rightfully so if the allegations are true, but also innocent until proven guilty.
