## Resource

Alex Formenton is back in the NHL, signing a one-year, $850K deal with the Edmonton Oilers — his triumphant return after stepping away in 2022 following a sexual assault trial that ended in acquittal. After playing overseas in Switzerland and even working construction, he’s now the third player from that group to re-enter the league, joining Carter Hart and Dillon Dube. Oilers captain Connor McDavid praised Formenton’s transparency, while Formenton credited his honesty and personal growth for earning this second chance. He’s eager to contribute on and off the ice, reflecting on his last NHL season with Ottawa (18 goals, 32 points in 79 games) and ready to make the most of this long-awaited comeback.
