The January visit of the former NHLer who was a victim of notorious coach Graham James couldn't be more timely.
In court yesterday, James plead guilty to charges involving Theo Fleury and will be sentenced in February.
Fleury is the guest speaker at the Muriel McQueen Fergusson Foundation Gala dinner next month.
Dinner chair Nathalie Godbout tells CHSJ News they first approached him back in the summer.
At that time she says he was sought after then but no more than he is now in the light of sex scandals at Penn State and Syracuse universities and the guilty plea from Theo Fleury's abuser.
Everyone attending January's event will leave with an autographed copy of Theo Fleury's book "Playing With Fire".
