Theo Fleury's tour is making a stop in Petrolia on Wednesday. The former NHLer brings his "Don't Quit Before the Miracle" speech to Victoria Hall at 6pm.
He'll be bringing his anti-bullying message to LCCVI students earlier in the day. Town spokesperson Laurissa Ellsworth says the students are excited. "The principal, I talked to her briefly, and the excitement is building at the school already. It's going to be a nice talk with them, he's going to stick around afterwards for some autographs with the young people, some group photos and that kind of thing," she says.
"At the Victoria Hall event in the evening, he's going to stay around afterwards for autographs and some photographs and that sort of thing as well." Fleury had a very successful NHL career, scoring over 1,000 points in time with Calgary, Colorado, the NY Rangers, and Chicago Blackhawks. The event has been sold out.
