He played over 1,000 games in the NHL between 1989 and 2003 and had multiple 100 point seasons.
 
What people didn’t know was that he was molested by his junior coach & then whilst being one of the best players in the world numbed that childhood pain by partying extremely hard with drugs and alcohol to the point of almost killing himself. 
 
While Theo does enjoy his hockey memories and accolades, he feels honoured and blessed in what he does today.

His compassionate spirit allows others to feel safe and whole through experiencing his vulnerability. He loves people, their stories and their journeys.
