Theoren Fleury’s hockey career would be considered a success by any standard, but it’s even more impressive when you consider his size.

At 5-foot six, Theo had a significant disadvantage compared to bigger NHLers. Despite this, he led the Calgary Flames in scoring 6 times, putting up over one-thousand points in his career. Theo used his feisty personality, skill and agility to not only survive over his 15 year NHL career, but to become a dominate player. Theo helped the Flames win the Stanley Cup in his first season in the league in 1989. In just his 3rd NHL season, Theo hit major milestones, scoring 51 goals, and eclipsing the 100-point mark, finishing the year with 104 points.

Theo’s success came on the international stage as well, winning gold medals for Canada at the 1988 World Junior Championship, the 1991 Canada Cup, and the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City.

Theo’s NHL career also took him to New York, Chicago and Colorado, but the majority of his accomplishments came in Calgary where he still holds several team records including most hat tricks with 13. He currently sits 2nd second overall for the Flames in goals and points in franchise history.

Since retiring in 2009, Theo has remained active in the community. His annual golf tournament has raised over one million dollars for the Crohns and Colitis Foundation of Canada. Theo has co-authored two books, Playing with Fire & Conversations With A Rattlesnake, detailing his struggles with addiction and child abuse, while persevering to become an advocate for children and adults alike.
