    Mike Danton's attempt to continue his hockey career in England is on hold after border officials refused to grant him an entry visa.

    The former NHLer, who served more than five years in a U.S. prison for a failed murder-for-hire plot, had his visa application rejected last week, the Coventry Blaze announced Monday. The team, which plays in the Elite Ice Hockey League, said Danton plans to submit a secondary application to the UK Border Agency.

    The Blaze called on officials to view that "sympathetically" because of the positive steps taken by Danton since his release from prison in 2009.

    I'm not sure how he would be surprised by this.
