WINNIPEG - The case of a former junior hockey coach and convicted sex offender has been adjourned until next month.

A lawyer for Graham James appeared briefly in a Winnipeg court where the case was put over to May 26.

James faces nine charges that date back to 1979 and include sexual exploitation, sexual assault and gross indecency.

Former NHL star Theo Fleury is one of three complainants.

In 1997, James was sentenced to 3 1/2 years in prison for sexually abusing two teenage players, including former NHLer Sheldon Kennedy.

James is currently out on bail and living in the Montreal area.
