I heard about this recently.
I know Sheldon Kennedy's story quite well. He's a very nice guy, actually. So it's a shame if people only know him for his history of on-ice and off-ice antics.
While Fleury was playing, I was a huge fan of his, so it struck me when I heard about this.
I can't even imagine the torment these survivors go through daily. I wish them both strength, and commend them immensely for the courage to tell their stories.
And to think that Graham James actually was (or is) coaching youth hockey in Europe after his release from prison....
