That piece of crap, Fluery raised money for a couple of girls that couldn't afford hockey, and is now scheduling a trip to Minnesota to raise money for youth hockey in the area.

Man, as the years go by, the guy gets more and more self involved and dickish.

Quote:
Thanks to a little help from Theo Fleury, a pair of underprivileged girls will be able to lace up their skates this year.
When Brent Pakkala found out his daughter Callie’s best friend Hannah and her little sister Hope would not be able to play in their Sauk Rapids, Minn., youth hockey league due to financial reasons, he turned to his childhood idol for advice.
Pakkala didn’t expect a response to the Twitter message he sent Fleury, but to his surprise the former NHLer had spread the word of his plight on social media.
Quote:
Pakkala needed $870. Thanks to Fleury and the generous donations of others, he raised $1,800.
The ordeal inspired Fleury to schedule a visit to the small Minnesota town to raise money for youth hockey in the area.
I realize that facebook thing two posts up could possibly be the same as this, but hey, it's a facebook link, so......
