(Getty Images) Mike Danton had plans to resume his profe sional hockey career this upcoming season in England for the Coventry Blaze of the Elite Ice Brandon Copeland Jersey Hockey League. Those plans were stalled when he was denied an entry visa.With Coventry set to open its season on the 29th of August, Danton, who spent five years in prison for a murder-for-hire plot that failed, was trying to join his team in time for the game in Cardiff, Wales.

They also continued to advocate for Danton to be granted a visa. Now, just go print that page out and deliver it to Desmond Ridder Jersey the UK border agents for their consideration. That's a suming, of course, that Danton was denied the visa based on his criminal record.Either way, whether it happens in England or elsewhere, Danton will likely keep trying to play.

That has nothing to do with the criminal record part as it is, that would just be another hurdle that teams might have to consider -- specifically the travelling obstacle.Danton played 87 career games for the Devils and Blues, and five more in the playoffs with St. Louis in 2004 when he was arrested after a game in San Jose. He had 10 goals (nine in the regular season) and five a Younghoe Koo Jersey sists over those 87 games while racking up 182 penalty minutes.
