RCMP began investigating King in 2024, around the time he left as assistant general manager with the Okotoks Oilers, a team that plays in the British Columbia Hockey League.

Mounties said the Oilers reported in June 2024 that a former employee had allegedly solicited and compensated players for intimate images and sexual videos.

The complainants, all under 18 at the time of the allegations, were junior A players from Saskatchewan and Alberta.

RCMP said King had worked with various teams across Alberta, Ontario and British Columbia.

After Okotoks, King went to work for the BCHL’s Nanaimo team, then wound up teaching sports journalism at a university in New York state.

King, wearing handcuffs, was escorted into court by two officers. He said little during his appearance other than to confirm his identity and date of birth.

Two hours later, he left carrying a duffel bag and police were to drive him to Calgary.

He’s scheduled to be back in court Dec. 18.
