Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Carter Hart has been back in the spotlight as his team battles the Carolina Hurricanes in the Stanley Cup Final. The Golden Knights, who took Game 1 of the series, return tonight for Game 2, with puck drop set for 8 p.m. ET.

Hart’s return to the NHL on a reported $4 million contract in 2025 sparked intense discourse among hockey fans due to his alleged involvement in the 2018 Canadian World Juniors sexual abuse case.

According to a BBC article, Hart, along with four of his former teammates — Michael McLeod, Dillon Dubé, Cal Foote, and Alex Formenton— were “accused of assaulting a woman, known as EM, in a hotel room in 2018 in London, Ontario, where they had been attending a Hockey Canada gala.” All five were later acquitted.

Now, a new documentary takes a closer look at the events surrounding the case, including an inside look at the courtroom proceedings and trial.

Code of Misconduct was officially released on streaming platforms in Canada on May 8, but viewers in the United States quickly discovered that it was not available there. The documentary is currently streaming in Canada on Super Channel Plus and FuboTV.

The film originally premiered at the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival in April. It remains unclear whether — or when — the documentary will become available on major U.S. streaming platforms such as Netflix or HBO.

What Is Code of Misconduct About?

Directed by Sébastien Trahan, Code of Misconduct is an 88-minute documentary that takes a deeper look at the trial connected to the 2018 Canadian World Junior hockey sexual assault case.

After eight weeks in court, all five players involved — Michael McLeod, Dillon Dubé, Cal Foote, Alex Formenton, and Carter Hart — were acquitted of the charges due to a lack of credible evidence. Of the five players on trial, Hart is currently the only one actively playing in the NHL. You can read more about the case in the New York Times here.

Who Is Carter Hart?

Carter Hart is a 27-year-old goaltender for the Vegas Golden Knights, who are currently facing the Carolina Hurricanes in the Stanley Cup Final. A native of Sherwood Park, Canada, Hart played for the Philadelphia Flyers back in 2018 and again in 2023, before the team chose not to re-sign him.

Hart has remained in the public eye due to his connection to the 2018 Canadian World Junior Hockey Championship sexual assault case. He was among the players identified and named in the lawsuit filed by the victim. Following a not-guilty verdict, Hart has largely avoided discussing the matter publicly and has maintained a relatively private life. Hart does not maintain any public social media accounts.

During Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final, Hurricanes fans were heard chanting “No means no” toward the Golden Knights as they took the ice.
