It has only been on sale a little over 24-hours but is already the number one best seller at amazon.ca. Theo Fleury’s tell all book is flying off the shelves and yesterday I went and picked myself up a copy. I’ve only really got into the first few dozen pages so will write some further review upon finishing my read, but already I can see how hard hitting and heavy a read it is going to be.

Theo Fleury, ex-Calgary Flame and of course ex-Belfast Giant, has been clean from alcohol and drug abuse for over four years now and has decided it is about time for him to get full closure on his past by putting it all in this new book and from what I can tell in the early going, nothing is being left out.

Of course the big story coming out of the book that has been in the news here in Canada is the alleged sexual abuse he was victim of as a teenager by his junior hockey coach which Theo believes triggered his descend into alcohol and eventually drugs. That story is set to run with the announcement yesterday that Theo is considering pressing charges against his former coach.

It has taken a lot for Theo to come forward with all this stuff and put it on paper but he has came along way from where he was earlier in the decade and I know like everyone who has seen him play through the years it is great to see how far he has come and long may it continue.

Now go buy the book. It will be worth it.
