Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Carter Hart has been back in the spotlight after his team defeated the Anaheim Ducks in the Western Conference Semifinals on Thursday, May 14. The Golden Knights now advance to the Western Conference Finals as they continue their pursuit of the Stanley Cup.

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.

Is Code of Misconduct Available in the U.S.?

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.

How to Watch Code of Misconduct in the U.S.

Although Code of Misconduct is not currently available in the United States, there are still ways for U.S. viewers to watch it online. The documentary is available through Super Channel Plus in Canada, which some viewers in the U.S. may be able to access by using a virtual private network (VPN).

These services are legitimate tools that allow users to access content that may be geoblocked in their physical location. VPN’s work by masking your IP (Internet Protocol) address and replacing it with a private network.

ExpressVPN

If you want to access Code of Misconduct using a VPN, ExpressVPN is a good option to consider. The service offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, with plans starting at $3.49 per month. It’s relatively easy to set up and can be used to access Canadian streaming platforms, including Super Channel Plus, where the documentary is currently available.

NordVPN

NordVPN is another option for viewers looking to watch Code of Misconduct. Similar to ExpressVPN, it offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, with plans starting at $3.09 per month. The company says it has received millions of five-star ratings globally.

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.
