PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Philadelphia Flyers goalie Carter Hart is one of five hockey players who surrendered to Canadian authorities Monday to face a sexual assault charge.

Hart, along with Dillon Dube, Cal Foote, Alex Fromenon and Michael McCleod, were all members of the gold medal-winning Canadian World Junior Team in 2018 out celebrating their win.
