Theo Fleury Released By Calgary Flames Photos
Theo Fleury comeback has ended as the former all star was released by the Calgary Flames earlier today. Theo had retired from the NHL six years ago and decided that he wanted to return to the NHL once again and performed a lot better than most expected. The Calgary Flames GM Darryl Sutter released the following statement "I believe Theoren did a great job and should be proud, especially considering all the factors including age, time away from the game and lifestyle change. This is not a hockey story, its a life story. Our agreement with Theoren was that he had to be one of our top six wingers and there were never any intentions of assigning him to the American Hockey League." It is not known at this point whether or not Theo Fleury will continue his comeback with another team or league.
