Don't Quit before the Miracle - that was the key message from former NHLer Theoren Fleury who spoke to about two hundred people at the Townsend Theatre last night.
Fleury is promoting his book "Playing with Fire" that outlines his career and past additions to drugs and alcohol, and says the response has been very positive.
"There's a lot of similarities in people's lives with mine," says Fleury. "It's funny how different people have picked out different things in the book that they said has inspired them and helped them get through some tough times as well."
Since arriving Tuesday, Fleury has spoken at area schools, met with local hockey teams and visited the district jails.
Today he travels to Atikokan where he will speak at the Atikokan High School.
