Ronni, drafted by the Flames in the second round of the 2022 NHL Draft, is confronting criminal charges in his native Finland. Although Ronni was a minor at the time of the alleged incident, he is now 19 years old.
The trial is set to occur privately, and Ronni has refrained from making any public statements regarding the matter, though he had previously expressed his intention to defend his innocence.
The Calgary Flames have issued a statement addressing their prospect, acknowledging that they were made aware of the incident after drafting him. They emphasize their commitment to taking the matter seriously and allowing the legal process to unfold as necessary.
