Police in Nova Scotia say a fourth youth hockey player has been arrested in connection to a sexual assault investigation that involves alleged hazing incidents and a team in the Truro area.

Colchester County District RCMP said the youth was arrested on Thursday, and is facing charges of sexual assault and assault with choking.

Three other young players were arrested on similar charges earlier this week, after a youth reported being assaulted during a private hockey team gathering in Colchester County in October 2025.

In a news release Thursday, police said that report spurred an immediate investigation, which involved getting statements from multiple witnesses.

Staff Sgt. Marc Rose said police have since determined there were multiple alleged incidents at different times and locations in Nova Scotia.
