KINGSTON, Ont. -- Former NHL defenceman Rob Ramage was granted day parole today, after his first attempt was rejected two months ago.
Ramage has served 10 months of a four-year sentence for impaired driving causing death in a crash that killed his friend and former NHLer Keith Magnuson.
There were gasps of joy from his wife when the two-time Stanley Cup winner was told of the decision by a new parole board in Kingston, Ont.
Ramage could be moved to a halfway house in London, Ont., within days.
Ramage has previously denied he was drunk, despite urine and blood analyses that showed three times the legal level of alcohol.
A parole hearing in March left a two-person board split on whether to release him to a halfway house.
However, he was granted permission to leave the minimum-security prison for monthly unescorted absences.
Ramage won Stanley Cups with the Calgary Flames and Montreal Canadiens.
He also played for Colorado, St. Louis, Toronto, Minnesota, Tampa Bay and Philadelphia.
Magnuson played his entire 11-season NHL career with the Chicago Blackhawks.
