Theos Recovery

 The conflict of Theos player development becomes very relevant when he starts to get help with his substance abuse and tries to turn his life around. Theo had a rough time in Santa Fe trying to get sober his wife wasn't there to support him because she didn't like the dessert which all Theo did was want to rebuild his relationship with his family but his wife was to stuck into the  materialistic life he was afraid his wife would get caught up in. Theo had a 2nd wind of motivation when he got a call from Gretzky asking him to be part of the Canadian Men's Olympic Hockey Team in 2002. He wanted to prove himself after being embarrassed and being pulled out of the commission. He went to the 4 day mini camp for the tam and his team mates were ecstatic when they saw him" Al MacInnis was there and Joe Nieuwendyk, all those guys, and they said, Holy fuck, man! What have you been doing?" I think that the feedback he got from his team mates would have been a real motivator for Theo to do even better, perform better, and have a better mentality towards the game. Do you think that Theo's wife leaving him was a major setback?
