(LifeSiteNews) – A retired Canadian National Hockey League player says he is “not afraid of being canceled” for speaking out against COVID-19 restrictions, adding that lockdown mismanagement and rising debt are a direct result of governments taking God “out of the equation.”
“And when you take God out the equation, what do you think happens? This … this is what happens,” Theoren “Theo” Fleury, who was raised Catholic, said in an interview with Rebel News that aired late last week.
“I also do know that God wins, and I would say, I’ve prayed more than at any point in my entire life, I’ve leaned on my faith to get through this very difficult year. Seeing what they are doing to the churches is absolutely the biggest disgrace,” Fleury said.
Fleury’s home life was chaotic. In his autobiography Playing with Fire, he attributed his local church priest as being one of his life’s most early positive influences. Unfortunately, the priest died of a heart attack, which left a huge void in his life in terms of having a positive adult to look up to.
Fleury, who is now 52 years old, was just a rising young star when he won his first (and only) Stanley Cup with the Calgary Flames in 1989. He spent many years with the Flames and played for a variety of other NHL teams before retiring from hockey in 2009.
Besides winning the Stanley Cup with the Flames, Fleury’s other career highlight came in 2002, when he along with his Canada teammates took home the Olympic gold medal in men’s hockey.
