WINNIPEG Charges against former junior hockey coach and convicted sex offender Graham James have been put over to Nov. 3 when dates are to be set for the case to proceed.
James has been out on bail for almost a year and living in Montreal since shortly after he was arrested on new sex assault charges.
The charges involve young hockey players he once coached, including former Calgary Flames forward Theo Fleury.
Fleury went on to become a star in the National Hockey League and wrote about the alleged abuse in his book.
He then made a complaint to police, which prompted the second investigation.
James served almost two years in jail in the late 1990s for assaulting three young hockey players, including former NHLer Sheldon Kennedy.

It is about time - as a grandparent I have watched our kids (who were allowed to fail although I do remember some nagging on our part) learn, I have watched our children now micro-manage their children. A big part of it is the fact that there are predators out there and an extreme reluctance on the parents part to alllow freedom that might result in the children becoming victims.
