I'm not comparing these circumstances at all, but for reference, those guys that beat that guy in the beltline to within an inch of his life (he will likely never recover) were charged with aggravated assault.

To underline the seriousness of the charge: I believe that, if convicted, the United States could, and possibly would, deny him entry. If that were to happen, his NHL dream is dead.
(although, since drug use doesn't seem to be involved, their authorities may not care)
