The Ontario Hockey League says it is taking recent sexual assault allegations against eight former players "very seriously" and will co-operate with any police investigation into the claims.

A woman alleged in a CTV report that aired Wednesday that she was sexually assaulted by eight OHL players in November 2014 at a house where a 19-year-old player she was in a relationship with was billeted while playing in the league.

She said some of the players went on to play in the NHL. The woman, now 32, said she reported the alleged incident to Ontario Provincial Police earlier this year.

The OHL said in a statement Thursday that it first became aware of sexual assault allegations on Wednesday. Responding to the report, the NHL said it "is deeply troubled by any accusation of this nature.
