Fleury Coming Back?
Sources tell TSN Theoren Fleury is attempting a comeback and wants to play in the NHL again.
After playing senior hockey last season, Fleury decided in February he was fit enough to give the NHL another try, so he hired a personal trainer and has been working diligently since.
Those close to him say he didn't leave the National Hockey League the way he wanted, which is fueling his desire to return.
The 41-year-old has been sober for almost four years and has been skating daily in Calgary in the hope that an NHL team is willing to invite him to training camp.
Interest in the former Stanley Cup champion won't be enough to clear the way for Fleury's return. He remains under indefinite suspension and would first have to be approved by the NHL and the NHLPA's Substance Abuse programs doctors before reinstatement would be considered.
Sources say Fleury recently sent NHL commissioner Gary Bettman a letter acknowledging his comeback bid and has also discussed the possibility with the leagues doctors.
At 5' 6'', Fleury was one of the smallest players in hockey. Intense and fearless, Fleury made a name for himself for more than his stature. He could score, play defensively and lead teams to championships in junior hockey, in the NHL and on the international stage.

I can almost guarantee that on LGK (the kings fan site) there will be a thread about signing him. Good luck to him. Hopefully he can make a comeback. Who knows maybe the sharks will want him

Hated that guy when he played the Kings - He was a King killer back in the day.....
Always scored or assisted on a play when the Flames needed it the most.....and no one could hit him....
heck - If Claude Lemieux can make a comeback - why not....

i thought that he had already said, the only way he'd come back to play, would be for the flames?
I think i heard that before at least?
I would love to see him come back & play again!
Even at 41, I bet he'd still be better than more than half of the NHL.
(points-wise that is)
and I think he just wants the comeback, because team Canada, NEEDS Him
for the olympics!!

I love Theo and wish him the best but hope he doesn't try a comeback. I just want to remember his days with the Flames.
