Welcome back to another edition of Throwback Thursday!
This week in 2009 (Sept. 28), Theo Fleury officially announced his retirement from the NHL despite attempting a comeback with the Calgary Flames.
Drafted by the Flames in the 8th round of the 1987 draft, Fleury had a long and successful career playing 791 games with the Flames between 1988 and 1998, when the club traded him to Colorado in a deal that brought back Robyn Regher, among others.
Fleury bounced around between the Avs, the New York Rangers and Chicago, but in 2003 was out of the league after battles with drug and alcohol addictions.
