Theoren currently plays for the Calgary Flames, Colorado Avalanche, New York Rangers, and Chicago Blackhawks of the National Hockey League (NHL), Tappara of Finland’s SM-liiga, and the Belfast Giants of the UK’s Elite Ice Hockey League.

Playing With Fire: The Highest Highs And Lowest… par Theoren Fleury

At times shockingly honest; at times just shocking. This is Theo Fleury's story of his life as a star NHL player. He was abused by a trusted coach as a young player and kept that secret for many years, leading to problems with drugs, alcohol, gambling, sex. Overall, it is an inspiring story as turns his life around. It is also very violent and often appears vindictive against some fellow players. It's well written...I felt I was there with him, just not sure I always wanted to be!

I want to reinforce his message that about 1 in 6 boys are abused. More and more, we see women coming forward to tell their stories of abuse and harassment. I hope we can find more ways to enable male victims to do so as well. Sexual predators of all kinds must be stopped and Theo Fleury is courageously reminding us of that.… (plus d'informations)

Playing With Fire par Theo Fleury

I think it was an excellent book about 1 mans struggles and successes in life. We are all human. We all make mistakes. We all fall. We all have the opportunity to rise!!

Playing With Fire par Theo Fleury

Unapologetic, ego-centered autobiography straight from the appalling underbelly of professional sports by the posterboy for NHL rage and self-destructive excess. Under-appreciated (as far as he's concerned) and mistreated by managers, coaches, ex-wives, etc. no matter how outrageous his behavior, his life is one long rampage through booze, drugs, gambling casinos and strip joints. When he's not blaming his booze- and drug-addled parents, he's blaming Graham James--who, of course, is very much to blame for a whole lot. Fleury has finally decided to talk about the sexual molestation he suffered under James in junior hockey, after denying it for years despite Sheldon Kennedy's brave coming forward. [For the record, he says he doesn't believe--though he doesn't know--that Joe Sakic (who he calls a "nerd" off the ice--choose your heroes...) was molested by James. Both their names have been front and center in the speculation for years.] Well made, actually, no doubt because co-authored, and interesting and enlightening--often unpleasantly--for a hockey fan.… (plus d'informations)
