The Hockey Canada sexual assault trial involving five former world junior hockey teammates, including Brett Howden, continued with legal arguments focusing on Howden’s memory lapses during his testimony. The Crown suggested that his inability to recall details was insincere, while the defense argued that his memory issues were genuine, supported by the judge’s agreement that Howden was not feigning memory loss. The trial centers on events from June 2018, where allegations arose regarding unwanted sexual activities after consensual encounters, with conflicting accounts from the woman involved and the defendants.
