Marc-Andre Fleury's Parents And His Journey To The NHL | Hometown Hockey 

My dad has been the Dentist for the Eagles for about 30 years now and to this day he still says that Fleury is the nicest player he’s ever interacted with

as a capitals fan, Fleury is the creator of most of my hockey sadness from 2009-2017 but it was so fun seeing him play. respect

We love Flower here in Cape Breton. Great memories.

MAF is the greatest goalie and human being God ever created(other than my mom of course) He has the heart of an angel and shares it daily. I have been a fan since the CBSE days. Nova Scotia loves you, Flower. #FleuryForever

Fleury has always been one of my favourite goalies. He was the heart of Pittsburgh

I want to thank him for everything he did for Pittsburgh and the Penguins!!

Mark is a great humble guy. Nicest guy ever. Keep being who you are. Yourself.

This is awesome. Great job Hawkins family, this is what makes hockey in Canada. MAF is our favourite goalie

When you love your billet more than your own kids

He's the nicest guy ever. Humble and funny and grateful. And what a career.

As a Montrealer it's always strange to see people calling him "Flower". But I'm sure our Flower doesn't mind. Great man.

I love this man so much. He’s the reason why I watch hockey. I’ll be completely crushed when he retires and probably never watch hockey again. The lights will have gone out. 😪

Beautiful

Love him and I love Cape Breton. Unreal place. The Q is a fantastic league for young players

We miss you in Pittsburgh, come back to us.

fleury continue being great 🙌🏼

This is so sweet. Flower is the reason I want Vegas to do well but I really hope he comes back and retires as a Pen. I miss him in Pittsburgh Black and Gold

Luv this guy. 🇨🇦🐧🏒🥅

lol i was 3-4 years old when he was on our team and some of my earliest memories is my bigger sister being obsessed with Fleury and every house he stayed at. we thought he stayed at a house like a 2 min drive away but it turned out he literally stayed at a house a street over from us. small world.

When I was in grade 2 he and a few other teammates visited our school and I scored on him!

Was so confused and scrolling back in the video numerous times to try to find a title under the mom and now I finally realized these were his *BILLET* parents lol

The greatest netminder ever .......

Merci Marc de tout ce que tu as fait pour l'hockey sur glace. On t'aime

MAF seems like a great person. Good job.

Curtis Joseph and Marc Andre Fleury my fave

What a likeable guy!

What a tremendous story ☺️!! ❤️

Beautiful people

4:05 they actually bought their tickets themselves!!! After travelling thousands of miles. So, they really wanted to surprise him. Classy people… Great example for supporting young professionals. Inspiring me…

Great goalie and person!

My favorite goalie and the one who made me want to play a little of it back when the local Salvation Army here in NC had a street hockey league. It'll be a sad day for me when he retires

An absolute class act

Fav goalie growing up. And still

Fluery def would never forget his roots, from 15 to becomin a G, bein a goalie is tough, i don't know how he survived so many games, he is crazy!!

R.I.P ❤️

He met his future wife when he lived with his billet family. She lived down the street and he liked her but was too shy to talk to her so somebody else had to talk to her for him. So cute. Can you see him as a shy teen trying to talk to a girl?

Pittsburgh should of kept him over Murray

Great video!!!!!!!

My wife and I were at a Vegas game in November 2018 talk about noisy, I was more than surprised at the amount of locals at the game Fleury is their fantasy mayor.

Amazing goalie and human

Fleury talking about being mad while smiling so big xD

Classy guy - classy family

Hats off to his parents!!!! MAF is great goalie and a much better Human being! Building playground in Pittsburgh on his way outta town. The way he handled himself after getting injured and losing his job not many people on this planet could've done that!

Rest in peace Papa Fleury

Ok, what about the real parents?

Love

he seems like such a happy guy lol

rip💔

When I live in cape Breton I went to game in cape Breton but he was already draft years before

Met and talked to Fleury multiple times. For many hours, with the "fancy people" lol. Behind the rope of a local Pittsburgh nightclub. I can agree. Marc Andre Fleury in no way. Comes off as a famous, wealthy, young athlete. He was by far the nicest of the guys that were ever there. Nice to the point that he was shy or embarrassed that people knew who he was. If you need a point of reference. Or think I'm just a fan and would say that about anyone. Sidney Crosby told me to shut up one night. Lol. But I was being rude... So I probably deserved it.. Lol But now looking back. That's a nice memory too. How often does someone get told that. By a generations Wayne Gretzky? So in different ways. They are both good memories. Haha. But yes. Marc Andre was absolutely as nice or nicer. On multiple occasions as everyone ever says. His parents should be very proud.

ha. i met that guy, still mad i didn't get a photo with my nintendo dsi.

MAF we miss you.

I live in Cape Breton and live like two minutes from the eagles arena

welcome to chicago 🌸 if u play for us or not ive always been a HUGE fan of yours

i’m from cape breton!

Nice

Bruh, Fleury was pranking since he was a kid 💀

best part of this video is all the koho equipment lol

Such a great career. Shame how he was treated by Vegas. I doubt he wins a cup next year in Chicago but I do hope he goes out with a bang.

Everybody likes and respects M A-F....no matter what team he plays for...

I would cry if I met fleury omg it would be so fun fleury I’m your #1 fan I’m crying right now 😭

❤️

Wish I could meet fleury

Who else thought the guy in the thumbnail was Dr. Oetker?

i'd settle the last slize with fleury

This season he will have a Vezina Trophy!

It must be very hard for a Quebecois to leave his family and pursue his dreams in a place outside the French-speaking part of Canada...Appreciate that!

Isn't it great how the education system of Quebec prepares its young people for life in the real world.

Приятный человек. :-D

He's gonna go down as one of the best goalies of all time, if not the absolute best.

What a sponsor

I am from pei and I liked the islanders and screaming eagles

Someone in sports net didn’t watch the piece before naming the episode.

David Desharnais at 2:47

That ad is a reeeeeeeeach

These aren't his parents. It's the family he lived with in jr. hockey. How don't you correct this in 3 years?

He was adopted to a more English couple wow didn’t know

Flower

Son looks 20 years older than MAF

Looks like his dad

Boss Nass!?

they completely skipped the part of him playing for the penguins like wtf

I live 5 min away Centre 200

So we’re is fleurys real parents

Why did they have to buy tickets to the Vegas game? He couldn't get them free tickets?

200 th comment yay

glass Act

Fleurys voice is so similar to Sebastian Vettels

What are billet parents? Im stupid btw

I'm confused.

It takes a village

Even

I understand keeping Murray was better for the pens financially, but look at them now might not be able to keep Murray now. My opinion would of been keep fluery let Murray walk and restructure his contract. Cause I'm sure like Crosby and Malkin did I'm sure fluery would of done the same thing. Especially now the fluery isnt in Pittsburgh Murray looks average, while fluery is still dominating.

Please go back Pittsburgh you need to come back home

I don't think I could let me son get drafted after bantams and see him move away and be raised by someone else.

Title needs to be edited. These are his billet parents, not his actual parents. Pretty dumb.

"Parents." I don't think so.

Their actual son seems like a went from 10 to 45 real fast ......yikes

Bro his teeth are so white...

what a dumb title
