Theoretically, if convicted it could affect his ability to cross the border. I have a friend that had a DUI and he has been turned back before. It seems like hit and miss.
Theoretically, but there is no shortage of athletes with DUIs on their records that freely cross the border.

Ondrej Pavelec got a dui in the Czech Republic. Concealed it from the team while negotiations for his new deal were ongoing... And the Jets had no issues. God damn it.

Most convictions don't involve getting into an accident and fleeing the scene though, that would be several criminal charges for most people. I'd like to see ROR treated the same and have his livelihood impacted because of his idiotic behavior, but unfortunately the rich get to live by different rules

That's the thing. It's not a case of someone having one too many and getting pulled over. His actions suggest that he knew that he shouldn't have been driving and then he tried to get away after causing an accident. There should be severe consequences for that.

It's bad, but it isn't Heatley bad in my view. I wouldn't expect severe consequences and frankly I don't think there should be. He should still have a chance to prove that he isn't overpaid (which he is!).

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.

I'd love to know how many times his BAC was. I am going with 3. To run away from your truck thinking you would be able to get home, say it was stolen and get away with it shows how truly not in your right mind drunk you were. He probably was stumbling and falling over everywhere.
A bit tipsy and you would probably stick around and see if you would blow just under. This is "I know I am drunk, I can't see straight, I better run or I am screwed"
You can't tell me if he offered someone even $100 to drive him home someone in that small town wouldn't have snapped it up. That shows how drunk he was, didn't think, feels arrogant, makes mistake and attempts to sloppily get away.
Dude deserves everything that he gets. He could have hit and killed someone in that car and wouldn't have known.

What was different from Heatley?
ROR could have easily killed multiple people if somebody was out front of that building.
IMO there should be severe consequences anytime somebody gets a DUI, whether somebody dies in the accident or not.
Why should the punishment be less because you hit an empty building and nobody was hurt, and somebody hit a full building and kills somebody gets way more punishment.
The act was identical and IMO both should be punished severely.

Worst case scenario he hooks up with Adebesi and Chucky Pancamo again in the kitchen and steers clear of any trouble from Shillinger and the nazis.

Unless I'm not remembering it right, Heatley wasn't legally impaired. Heatley killed a guy because he drove recklessly, not because he had a drink.
I think getting pissed drunk and driving is worse than stunting.
