BREAKING: The Philadelphia Flyers Officially Remove Carter Hart From Roster
Earlier this week, disturbing news surfaced as Carter Hart of the Philadelphia Flyers, along with four other players, faced charges from London Police regarding an alleged incident at a 2018 Hockey Canada gala.
In light of the serious allegations, the Philadelphia Flyers have taken swift action by removing Hart from their roster, as indicated by CapFriendly's update:
"Philadelphia #LetsGoFlyers have moved goaltender Carter Hart to non-roster."
The NHL's CBA, under section 16.12, allows for a non-roster designation for reasons other than injury or illness. The timeline for this designation is not constrained by a specific limit and awaits approval or disapproval from Central Registry and/or Commissioner Gary Bettman.
More details surrounding the London Police investigation are anticipated to unfold during a press conference scheduled for Monday, February 5th, at 2 p.m. ET. The league and fans are bracing for further updates on this distressing situation.
