NANAIMO — A junior hockey team in British Columbia says it was not aware of sexual exploitation allegations against an executive when he was hired.

RCMP announced Monday they began investigating King in 2024, around the same time he left the Okotoks Oilers, a team in southern Alberta that plays in the British Columbia Hockey League.
After working in Okotoks, King went to the BCHL’s Nanaimo team and eventually wound up teaching sports journalism at a university in New York state.
Last week, police arrested King at a U.S. border crossing in Ontario and charged him with sexual exploitation offences involving three underage Junior A hockey players.
RCMP said the 39-year-old had worked with various teams across Alberta, Ontario and British Columbia.
