Former NHL player Rob Ramage is up for parole Friday, eight months into his four-year prison sentence.
Ramage, 52, was convicted in 2007 of four charges, including impaired driving causing death, in a crash that killed his friend Keith Magnuson, another ex-NHL player.
He was jailed last July after the Ontario Court of Appeal rejected his bid for a new trial.
Ramage was charged after the rental car he was driving slammed head-on into another vehicle north of Toronto in December 2003, killing Magnuson.
The two men had just left a funeral reception for another former NHL player, Keith McCreary.
Ramage’s parole hearing will be held at the Frontenac Institution in Kingston, Ont., the minimum-security facility where he’s been serving his sentence.
