Theo one step closer to NHL return

Former Giants | Saturday 12 September 2009 by

Giants single season legend Theo Fleury is coming back to hockey and at the highest level. That news hit the press last month but today Theo was officially reinstated to the NHL by commissioner Gary Betteman and can now go about trying out for a team who might be interested in his services.

Theo was suspended indefinitely by the NHL when he last left the league due to substance abuse problems but has since got clean, thanks in part to his season in Belfast, and is free to play. The hard part is only beginning for Theo who has been out of the NHL for 5-years as he must now head to training camp for a team and try make the roster.

Theo has claimed he has been working out hard and is lighter than he even was in his best years … he has the hands and the head for the game and it would be great if he could indeed find the legs. He has said a number of teams are potentially interested in his services but will not name them publicly at the minute.

Here’s to him getting it done.
