The little man from Oxbow, Saskatchewan has created a stir.
If you want to follow the ebb and flow of the return of 41 year old Theo Fleury to the NHL check out twitter.com/NHLFlames:
- Massive cheers for Fleury as he hits the ice
- As expected, Fleury is mobbed by fans as he leaves the ice after the skate but appears to be signing everything put in front of him
- Huge cheers for Fleury as he steps on the ice for the pre-game skate
- Probable linemates for Fleury tonight are Langkow and Dawes. Look for Iggy to be on the top line with Backlund and Jokinen
- FROM FLEURY: I don't know at this point how I'm going to react to that situation and react to the crowd. It's going to be emotional.
CBCSports.ca:Fleury set for Saddledome return --
The spotlight will shine on Theoren Fleury when he makes his return to the Saddledome, as his bid to make the Flames begins Thursday when Calgary takes on the New York Islanders in pre-season action.
The diminutive forward will see NHL action for the first time in six years, as he's looking to earn a spot on the Calgary roster after being reinstated to active status by the league last week.
"I have to earn everything again and I'm OK with that," Fleury said. "I'm here to try and make a really good team that has a really good chance to do some good stuff this year."
