More than 30 years covering sports, politics and the arts. Have covered multiple Stanley Cup finals, Women’s World Cup, Sundance film festival.
I’ve been the editor at Avenue Edmonton, Edify Magazine, Vue Weekly. Publications coordinator for the Edmonton Oilers. I have worked for Sun Media and Postmedia.
I’ve been named Alberta Magazines’ editor of the year, and publication I’ve edited have been named magazine of the year three times.
Volunteer coach in basketball, baseball and soccer. I love Arsenal, Formula One and very loud music. Tend to listen to Slayer when working on deadline.
I have over 30 years of experience as a writer and editor. My 11th book, Leveling the Ice: Confronting Racism in Hockey, was published by Beacon Press in 2025. I have covered the NHL for decades, and have also worked inside the Edmonton Oilers organization. I’ve also been a soccer commentator who has appeared on Sportsnet, One Soccer, TSN, and CBC.
Being a good Canadian, hockey is a passion. But my family has been involved in baseball and soccer, and my dad played soccer at a high level in Hungary before escaping to Canada with my mom way back in 1956. Sport is a serious part of my life. I also have a very strong passion for F1, so I care way too much about aerodynamics and barge boards and tire compounds.

I consider “Losing My Edge” by LCD Soundsystem my personal theme song.
Fever Pitch by Nick Hornby is the best sports book there is, because it explores why we idolize athletes whom we don’t know personally at all. Do not watch the awful movie adaptations of this book.
Dress codes. White jackets and black ties, like every casino scene from every James Bond film.
With a group of friends, we once put money on a horse named “Bay Street Bully” because we liked the name. It was a long shot. That horse paid for a fantastic steak dinner.
Chess by Stefan Zweig. It’s about a cutthroat chess match between a savant and an aloof chess champion on a cruise ship.
My Hungarian lineage has me screaming for water polo.
I think a fusion of gambling games. What if we could mix poker and fantasy sports? The person who wins the hand gets the next pick. Or you could “bet” your picks.
