From HockeyFights.com:
Brandon Sugden‘s dream of getting one more shot at making it into the NHL has suddenly come crashing to a halt.
After scoring an invitation to attend training camp with the New York Islanders, all that was left in Sugden’s way was the approval of all 30 NHL teams. Because Sugden retired from hockey in December 2006 only to suit up in the LNAH months later, the league must grant Sudgen an unofficial reinstatement in the aforementioned form.
Unfortunately for “Sugar”, three different teams gave a thumbs down…

Ha!
And I happen to have a soft-spot in my heart for Sugden. After nearly two years, I still have his bobblehead in bits and pieces sitting on the mantle in my living room. It ain’t pretty.

Anyone know why the teams would want to veto a marginal NHL player?
he wants his dieing dad to see him play in the NHL, seems really mean spirited to veto him…
