I love you Sheldon and I am very sorry this happened to you! You are a great person for doing what you did! Thanks for being so honest and for being very real about what happened to you! Being a single mother I appreciate your honesty and for your real input on what happened to you! Big Fan Sheldon. You are in my prayers forever!
I first heard about Sheldon when he drove my Chinese friend here two nights ago. Since then my brother told me he knows him personally as he bought some energy equipment from him(my brother)!! Story kept short, he drove my buddy here to the house.
Graham is not in Europe. We are a new Hockey Junior Team in Washington DC and he approached us to coach our team as we where looking to hire a new Junior Coach. He is here in the US and is trying to continue to coach Junior hockey.
I just finished reading his book and Theo Fleury's book in 2 days...very interesting. These two are survivors and I look up to them as examples of survival in anything you battle with.
Unfortunately James is coaching youth hockey somewhere in Europe. It's hard to believe our government would allow him to have a passport considering he was in prison for sexual abuse. However I read today that Theo Fleury is going to file a criminal complaint against James so hopefully he'll be back on Canadian soil again to face the music.
I heard he was in Spain a while back. Anyway, wherever he is when the criminal action commences, let's hope the place has an extradiction agreement with Canada.
I agree. All these kids need is someone to talk to. If he had someone to talk to as a kid, he probably would have been able to have a successful NHL career. These kind of traumas can effect people in ways no one can imagine if they have no one to talk to. Good on you Sheldon for having the courage to talk to us about it. You saved people. He would have done it to other kids. Good to see that the monster is rotting in Jail.
I just wanted to clarify a very disturbing fact though and mention that the coach (Graham James) that sexually abused Sheldon and over 150 other children is actually not in jail. James was given a lifetime ban from coaching by the Canadian Hockey Association. When the CHA learned that James was coaching in Spain, it complained to European ice hockey officials.
James fled to Europe after he was released from prison, and still coaches youth hockey there.
It's great to hear Sheldon speaking up on this subject. I agree that the best thing kids can do, if someone abuses them, is to TELL SOMEBODY. There is always somebody to tell--a neighbor, policeman, schoolteacher--even if the abuser is in the child's own family.

three and a half years for sexual abuse is not enough.
