The judicial preliminary hearing, which is not open to the public, is scheduled for July, and some hearings are also scheduled for September.
Five players were charged earlier this year with sexual assault at a hotel in London, Ont., in 2018.
They are both charged with sexual assault, but McLeod also faces an additional sexual assault charge for being a “party to the crime.”
The players decided to stand trial in front of a judge and jury.
