A former junior hockey executive in Alberta has been arrested and charged with sexually exploiting three players.

RCMP say Tyler King had been working at a university in New York State and was arrested Friday at a U.S. border crossing in Ontario.

The 39-year-old is to be returned to Alberta to face charges of luring, sexual exploitation and making child pornography.

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

King, who worked with various teams in Alberta and British Columbia, oversaw non-hockey operations for the Okotoks Oilers with the British Columbia Hockey League.

Mounties say the Oilers informed them about the allegations in mid-2024, which is around the same time King left the Alberta-based team.
