Rob Ramage Sentenced to 4 Years in Prison

According to the Toronto Star last week former Maple Leafs captain Rob Ramage was sentenced to four years in prison for a car crash that killed his friend, ex-number 3 Chicago Blackhawks player Keith Magnuson.

Ramage and Magnuson were driving in a rental car returning from the funeral of former NHL player Keith McCreary when they slammed head-on into another vehicle just north of Toronto, killing Magnuson. Ramage had been convicted by a Newmarket, Ontario, jury last October on 5 charges, including impaired driving causing death stemming from the accident. Magnuson was 56.

Alexander Sosna, the Ontario Superior Court Justice called the case serious with “tragic consequences” and noted Ramage has an otherwise “exemplary record”, but felt he needed to send a deterrent message against drunk driving. He then handed down the sentence of four years.

Rob Ramage played in the NHL from 1979-94 totaling 139 goals and 425 assists and winning Stanley Cups with the Calgary Flames and the Montreal Canadians.

Keith Magnuson played in the NHL from 1969-79 totaling 14 goals and 125 assists and 1,442 career penalty minutes showing him as a solid defence. He was also the Head Coach for the Chicago Blackhawks from 1980-82.
