WINNIPEG -- Charges against former junior hockey coach and convicted sex offender Graham James have been remanded to Dec. 1.

Last month, it was suggested dates would be set for the case to proceed but that hasn't happened.

Instead, court has been told the defence and Crown are continuing their discussions.

James has been out on bail for almost a year and living in Montreal after his arrest on new sex assault charges involving young hockey players he once coached as juniors, 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 after James had served almost two years in jail for assaulting other young hockey players, including former NHLer Sheldon Kennedy.
