Bio:     After Graduating from Ryerson in 1978, I began full-time with Hockey Night In Canada, producing NHL games across the continent. In 1980, moving to Calgary to be the show’s western producer was an outstanding time to be around the best teams in the league.  I was able to produce the Stanley Cup Final every year that decade. I have been blessed by the chance to be part of the NHL playoffs for 32 years. Combined with the 5 Olympic Games that I have been involved in, my life in hockey has been a fruitful journey for my family and me. Beyond hockey, I have produced PGA Golf, CFL Football, NASL Soccer, Tennis, Basketball, Curling and probably a couple more that I have forgotten. I have also seen inside my share of board rooms to learn that even the suits are passionate about the game.
