Fleury: Battle of the Blades?

[Methanolic]

TORONTO — Former NHL star Theo Fleury is set to lace up for the upcoming season of “Battle of the Blades.”

He’ll join Russ Courtnall and eight other hockey stars for a second go-round of the kitschy CBC reality show, which kicks off Sept. 26

He has a book to promote...He's also cleaned himself up (at least relatively anyway) and realizes he needs to set himself up for the future. He might as well cash in now. His hockey career is done and in ten years everyone will have forgotten about him.

Is this really such a bad thing. The prize money goes to charity. Not my cup of tea, but many seem to enjoy the show and noone is forcing you to watch.

I caught an episode or two last year. Might make a point of watching this season.
