US state AGs back hockey players in appeal of antitrust case against leagues

( November 19, 2025, 19:59 GMT | Official Statement) -- MLex Summary: A coalition of attorneys general from 14 states and the District of Columbia filed a brief with a US appeals court in support of current and former hockey players who allege the Canadian junior hockey leagues that feed into the National Hockey League illegally divided North America into exclusive recruiting territories and agreed not to recruit players from one another’s regions, according to a statement from California Attorney General Rob Bonta. The AGs ask the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit to reverse a dismissal and argue that the lower court’s ruling could prevent enforcers, like states, from challenging future legal violations that harm US citizens and residents if those violations extend across multiple states or international borders.Statement follows in full.
