Danton: Asset

Saint Mary S University Dept: Mike would be a huge asset both on and off the ice, the team said on its website. He is an outstanding example of an individual who has turned his life around in recent years. ... There are so many positive reasons why we believe Mike deserves to be granted his visa, according to Globe and Mail. The 31-year-old Danton returned to pro hockey last season splitting his time between teams in Sweden and the Czech Republic following two years at Saint Mary s University in Halifax, where he helped the Huskies win a national championship in 2010 and was named an academic all-Canadian because of a straight-A average and the Blaze called on officials to view that sympathetically because of the positive steps taken by Danton since his release from prison in 2009. Danton and team officials won t make any further comment until a decision is made on the secondary application, according to the Blaze. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
