Fleury was born in 1968 in The Pas, Manitoba. He was taken from his family at the age of four and sent to a residential school. Residential schools were government-funded schools that were designed to assimilate Indigenous children into white society. The schools were often harsh and abusive, and many Indigenous children suffered physical, emotional, and sexual abuse while attending them.
Fleury was no exception. He was beaten, humiliated, and sexually abused at the residential school he attended. The abuse he suffered left him with deep emotional scars that he carried with him for many years.
Despite the trauma he experienced, Fleury was determined to succeed. He left residential school at the age of 16 and went on to play junior hockey. He was drafted by the Calgary Flames in 1987 and made his NHL debut in 1989. Fleury quickly became one of the most exciting players in the NHL. He was a fast and skilled winger who was known for his scoring ability and his aggressive play.
Fleury played in the NHL for 17 seasons. He scored 425 goals and 804 assists in 1088 games. He was a member of the Flames' Stanley Cup championship team in 1989, and he was also a member of the Canadian Olympic hockey team in 1998.
After retiring from the NHL, Fleury became a successful businessman and author. He is now a motivational speaker and he works with Indigenous youth to help them overcome the challenges they face.
Fleury's story is an inspiring example of the power of resilience and determination. He overcame the trauma of residential school to become a successful professional hockey player and a successful businessman. He is now using his platform to help others who have experienced trauma.
From the Trauma of Residential School to Becoming the NHL's First Treaty is a must-read for anyone who is interested in the history of residential schools or the power of resilience. It is a story of hope and inspiration that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.
