In Light of Recent Announcements....

Heard the other day that Graham James was back in court for his sexual and mental abuse as a hockey coach.... and that the charges are growing... i spent some time earlier this winter reading Theo Fleury's book.... and it's amazing that a guy this incredibly talented on the ice can be so messed up... sexual abuse, serious drug abuse, alcohol addiction, violence, prostitution, suicidal thoughts, gambling addiction - pretty much anything that can be self-destructive - he did it.... worth a read and an amazing insight to the life of the Pro-Hockey player.... or what their lives used to be like... was he great because his determination came from the abuse.... or did his tolerance of the abuse actually give him the chance to display his greatness? a great page turner .... and one that makes you think about the highest levels of sport and the sacrafices to get there....
