Former Vancouver Canuck Willie Mitchell has been named in a lawsuit alleging that Mitchell sexually assaulted a 26-year-old woman at his Tofino, B.C., home three years ago.

The notice of civil claim, filed in B.C. Supreme Court, says Mitchell engaged in unwanted and unprotected sex with plaintiff S.D.K., a server working at Tofino Resort at the time of the alleged incident.

Mitchell was one of three directors of Tofino Resort, according to the documents, and the acting general manager. Tofino Resort and an associated numbered company are also named as defendants in the claim.

None of the allegations have been tested in court and the respondents have yet to file statements of defence.
