The five players acquitted in the Hockey Canada sexual assault trial can return to the NHL when their suspensions end "no sooner" than Dec. 1, the NHL announced Thursday.

The players, who are all unrestricted free agents, can sign with a team on Oct. 15 as they wait for full reinstatement.

Michael McLeod, Dillon Dube, Cal Foote, Alex Formenton and Carter Hart were all charged with one count of sexual assault stemming from an encounter with a woman after a 2018 gala celebrating the world junior team's gold medal. All five pleaded not guilty when the trial opened in April.

One person has been taken to the hospital after a collision between a vehicle and a school bus on Wednesday afternoon. 

At approximately 3:26 on September 10, the Winnipeg Police Service received a report of a collision in the 1-99 block of Keslar Road in Richmond West. 

Along with the West District General Patrol, members of the Traffic Division quickly attended and ensured the students were safe. The school bus did not sustain significant damage.

Hundreds of Manitobans have had their power restored sooner than expected after a devastating wildfire season. 

Several areas of the province, including Leaf Rapids, Mathias Colomb Cree Nation (Pukatawagan), and O-Pipon-Na-Piwin Cree Nation/South Indian Lake were restored on September 9 and 10. While Marcel Colomb First Nation and Lynn Lake are being re-energized on Thursday.

The power restoration comes two to four weeks sooner than expected because of the hard work from the hundreds of Manitoba Hydro employees, contractors, and mutual aid partner SaskPower.

A collision late Wednesday evening has left almost 2,000 people in Southdale without power. 

The crash broke a hydro pole in half, and crews have been working around the clock to get the pole fixed and power up and running.

As a result of the power outage, several traffic signals along St. Mary's Road from Fermor to Abinoji Mikanah are not working. Motorists are encouraged to treat those intersections as all-way stops and proceed with caution.

Yesterday, Christian artist Lauren Daigle went on national television to share her heart in the fight against human trafficking, especially when it comes to children being exploited.
