Justin Danforth is a name you might remember especially if you cheered for the Cobourg Cougars over the years. The rugged right winger played in a Cougars jersey from the 2009-10 season until the 2013-14 season.
Danforth is now playing for team canada right in Latvia as the Canadians are taking part in the world championships. But what is truly remarkable is that Danforth has never played a single game in the NHL. Here Justin talks about the team dynamic.
The 28 year Danforth also signed a contract deal with the Columbus Blue Jackets earlier this month after a 55-point season with Vityaz, his third consecutive 50-plus point season in Europe after a dynamic two years with Luuko in Finland. Justin previously played in the minors , but it never looked like an NHL career was in the cards that is until now.
