Playing on the best team, on the overlooked line.

In the 1996 the first World Cup of Hockey was held. It was a change from the Canada cup to a cup were European countries the Americans, and Canada were to play in a tournament for the world cup of hockey. Theo Fleury was very excited. Theo Fleury was put on the team but put on the fourth line with Steve Yzerman and Rod Brind'Amour, Rheo thought they were the best line on the team but they were used sparingly because they had some of the greatest hockey players on the team at the time like Gretzky, Messier, Eric Lindros.  A theme was significant in this passage and it was that if you get played a lot or not very often is that you play every shift like its your last, you give it your all and you always try to prove that you belong to play more and more. "And when your your name gets called you you go out and play your shift to the best of your ability." page 134. Theo was constantly trying to prove himself in the league and was often looked over so he had to work extra hard and put in that extra effort to succeed and be noticed.  When Theo saw the talent and the ability of all of the great players he was playing with he also realized within himself that he needed to improve and he would improve. If you want to be noticed and have your talent recognized or more appreciated, keep on working at it no matter what!
