Playing career

Fleury was selected by the Red Deer Rebels in the second round (43rd overall) of the 2011 WHL Bantam Draft.[3] He was named an alternate captain for the Rebels on November 8, 2013.[4]

Having been projected as a top 10 pick in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, Fleury was selected 7th overall by the Carolina Hurricanes, the second defenseman selected in that draft.[5] On August 7, 2014, Fleury was signed to a three-year entry-level contract with the Hurricanes.[6]

Fleury was reassigned to the Rebels for the 2014–15 season. On November 5, 2015, Fleury was named an alternate captains for Team WHL at the CHL Canada/Russia Series.[7] Upon a first-round elimination from the WHL playoffs, Fleury was signed to an amateur try-out with the Hurricanes' American Hockey League affiliate, the Charlotte Checkers. On April 12, 2015, in the Checkers final home game, Fleury made his professional debut, scoring a goal, in a 4–3 victory over the Rockford IceHogs.[8] Fleury attended the Hurricanes training camp for the 2015–16 season, then was reassigned to the Rebels for that season.[9] He helped the team advance to the 2016 Memorial Cup, where they reached the Memorial Cup Semi-Final, losing to the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies. Fleury was named to the 2016 Memorial Cup All-Star Team.[10]

Fleury started the 2017–18 season with the Hurricanes.[11] On October 26, 2017, in his eighth game in the NHL, he earned his first NHL points, registering two assists in a 6–3 win against the Toronto Maple Leafs.[12] Fleury was re-assigned to the Checkers on January 25, 2018, after recording 6 points, all assists, in 39 NHL games.[13] However, he was recalled back to the Hurricanes three days later.[14] After the Hurricanes failed to make the post-season, Fleury was assigned to the Checkers to help them in the 2018 Calder Cup playoffs.[15]

The following 2018–19 season, Fleury again made the Hurricanes' opening night roster,[16] but was re-assigned to the Charlotte Checkers on October 17.[17] He was recalled to the NHL on October 31,[18] only to suffer a concussion on November 23 in a game against the Florida Panthers.[19] Fleury was officially placed on injured reserve by the Hurricanes on November 29.[20] Fleury was activated from injured reserve on December 2, 2018, before a game against the Los Angeles Kings.[21]

On July 16, 2019, the Hurricanes re-signed Fleury to a one-year, $850,000 contract extension.[22]

Personal life

Growing up in Carlyle, Saskatchewan, Fleury knew fellow Carlyle native and future NHL player Brenden Morrow, who was then playing junior hockey with the Portland Winterhawks. As a teenager, Morrow would babysit Fleury, who was then a toddler.[23] Morrow and Fleury would later play in the Under-17 tournament exactly 17 years apart.[23]

Fleury has a younger brother, Cale, who was taken 87th overall in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft by the Montreal Canadiens.[24]
