QUOTE
Sheldon Kennedy's darkest hour came huddled in his furnace room with a shotgun and a bag of cocaine, sleep deprived and paranoid.
The former NHLer who shattered Canadians' wholesome view of hockey by revealing his junior hockey coach Graham James molested him for years was certain the sexual predator who haunted his nightmares was still able to harm him more than 20 years after the abuse.

The book details how the respected coach isolated Kennedy from his family and teammates. It recounts the inner turmoil faced by a child taught to respect authority figures, who fantasized about playing in the National Hockey League.
James told anyone who would listen that Kennedy was a troubled kid who needed help, a prophetic description as the youth turned to booze, pot and eventually cocaine to help cope with his guilt and shame.
So eerily similar to the Mike Danton case... frown
