Theo Fleury is continue with his hopes of returning all the way back to the top of the hockey world after a four-year absence by attending the Calgary Flames training camp, the team were he started his NHL career and won his one and only Stanley Cup ring twenty years ago. Reports suggest he turned up to camp in the best shape of his life proven by the fact he had a Vo2 reading of 60 and an 8% body fat count. When he took to the ice the Calgary players seen what the Giants fans knew from a few years back, Theo still had the hands for the game as he impressed all before him.

He has worked hard to get himself into good shape and if he does find a roster spot it would be one of the great comeback stories. Not just because he is an old man coming back to the elite level but what he has been through in getting his life together and beating alcoholism along the way. It would indeed make a great movie.

Calgary have their first exhibition game tomorrow night against Edmonton but Fleury is not expected to be on the ice but me might play Thursday against the Islanders. I for one will be doing my best to tune in if he is playing. Calgary certainly didn’t expect this much attention around their training camp before Theo turned up.
