Stories written by Tony
Grew up in London, Ontario and was always a fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs. Darryl Sittler was my idol growing up (man did I cry when he and the Leafs parted ways). I am a freelance sports reporter. I do plenty of assignments for Rogers Sportsnet. I have been a reporter for more than 20 years, having also worked at The Score Television Network and for a number of years in radio for Bayshore Broadcasting based out of Owen Sound, Ontario. I have been fortunate enough to cover the NHL playoffs, MLB playoffs and World Series, NBA playoffs, Grey Cups, Canadian Open Tennis and Golf tournaments and the Olympics. I am proud to be involved in a charity golf event every year in which we raise money for Child-can, a London, Ontario based group that helps families dealing with childhood cancer. Child-can offers families financial and emotional support. I am a huge fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers, enjoy spending time playing games with my 8 year old nephew and you can always find me at a junior hockey rink somewhere watching an Ontario Hockey League game.
