This is such and honest, vulnerable conversation with Theo Fleury.

If you're a hockey fan, you know who he is, and if you're not, well he was pretty big in the 90's in Calgary and made a huge impact with the Calgary Flames.

What we didn't know back then is that the fearless Fleury had a dark secret that was haunting him... a nightmare that started when he was 14 years old.

But through the long road of pain, Theo has emerged on the other side in the winning end, discovering his purpose and inspiring others to face their demons and overcome their hardships.

He is now a public speaker and has done close to 1000 talks, being in service to those who have faced abuse as he has.

In this interview Theo talks about:

5:30 - The story of Theo's abuse

6:30 - How he found hockey and how finding his unmet needs met on the ice kept him playing hockey

8:15 - How substances became his coping mechanism
