NEWMARKET, Ont. (CP) - Former WHA and NHL defenceman Rob Ramage appeared in court in Newmarket, Ont., on Monday to face charges of impaired and dangerous driving in a deadly car crash.
Ramage is charged with five criminal offences in the December 2003 crash in Woodbridge, Ont., that killed former Chicago Blackhawks defenceman Keith Magnuson.
The 48-year-old Ramage is alleged to have been impaired and driving dangerously when the car he was operating crashed.
At his arraignment last week, Ramage pleaded not guilty to all charges.
The trial is expected to last three to four weeks.
After his rookie season in 1978-79 with the WHA Birmingham Bulls, Ramage played for eight teams, winning Stanley Cups with the Calgary Flames and Montreal Canadiens, and captaining the Toronto Maple Leafs.
