This comes as no surprise to NHL fans as Formenton was one out of the 5 players dealing with sexual assault charges dating back to 2018. Although its an extremely sensitive topic for many people, his actions have ultimately lead him to being disgraced and banished from hockey in North America for the time being.
Formenton, Dillon Dubé, Cal Foote, Michael McLeod, and Carter Hart all face sexual assault charges in connection with an alleged group sexual assault of a woman in a player's hotel room following a Hockey Canada gala and golf event in 2018.
Formenton was Ottawa's second-round draft pick in 2017, played 109 games for the Sens. Known for his agility and speed, Formenton has been reported as "the fastest skater" in club history.
