Former NHL player Mike Danton, who has been serving time in the United States for plotting to have his agent murdered, is back in Canada and is eligible for parole
The Brampton native pleaded guilty to plotting to have agent David Frost killed in 2004. He has served over four years of his 7 1/2-year sentence at a Minnesota prison.
After petitioning to be moved to a Canadian prison since 2005, Danton was reportedly transferred to Kingston Penitentiary on March 19. Danton would be eligible for full parole under Canadian law.
Danton, who spent parts of three seasons playing for the St. Louis Blues and New Jersey Devils, is considering a return to professional hockey.
In 87 career NHL games, the 28-year old has nine goals, five assists and 182 penalty minutes. He was the Devils fifth round pick, 135th overall, in the 2000 NHL Entry draft.
