Fleury Visit Planned

Plans are in the works to bring former NHLer Theo Fleury to the Fort Frances area next month.

Details of the visit are still be worked out by an area native health centre, but it's expected Fleury will be in the area for at least three days making a number of public appearances.

Fleury spent 15 seasons in the NHL, retiring last September after attempting a comeback with the Calgary Flames.

Fleury also recently released his autobiography "Playing with Fire" in which he claimed he was sexually assaulted by former junior hockey coach Graham James which led to addictions to drugs and alcohol during his playing career.
