Speaker Biography

Ken got his first big break doing play-by-play commentary for the junior A team in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia– as a volunteer. The station decided to hire him and pay him to do a weekly news program. This was followed by stops in Calgary, Ottawa, Edmonton and finally Toronto, where he worked with CP24, TSN and the NHL Network, before landing at Sportsnet. He has been adding his unique brand of humour and style to the sports news and updates since joining the network.

He’s a multiple author including his first book, a national bestseller, “Hockey Card Stories: True Tales from Your Favourite Players”, a compilation of stories from the game’s greatest stars. His newest book is described as “Featuring heartwarming stories of grit, leadership, and lifelong bonds, Ken Reid’s Hometown Hockey Heroes celebrates how hockey, and the values the game teaches, can shape our communities for the better.” He has also released “One Night Only”, “Denis Maruk: The Unforgettable story of Hockey’s Forgotten 60-Goal Man” and “Hockey Card Stories 2”. He’s volunteered his time with the Michael Garron Hospital in Toronto and the Danny Gallivan Cystic Fibrosis Golf tournament in Halifax.

Sports fans have seen Ken Reid alongside Evanka Osmak weeknights on the Prime Time Edition of Connected of Sportsnet Central.  Ke’s also co-hosted Canada’s most listened to sports talk radio presentation, Prime Time Sports with Bob McCown on Sportsnet 590 The FAN.

In front of the camera, on the radio, or in front of an audience, Ken is a man of many stories. He’s also been open about his

“I don’t mind seeing pucks,” Minnesota Wild goalstopper Devan Dubnyk said this month. “That’s what I’m here to do.”

Frank Seravalli of TSN.ca got talking to 43-year-old Jaromir Jagr of the Florida Panthers.

Q: You said a couple years ago that you’d like to play until you’re 50. Is that still realistic?

A: I know I’m going to play to 50. I know that — if I don’t get injured. I never said I’m going to play here (in the NHL) until I’m 50. That’s a different story. You can always play ’til 50. There’s a lot of guys that play until 60, you know, just beer hockey.

Q: But what about the NHL?

A: I don’t think I could go until 50. It’s very tough.

Sidney Crosby is at war with Mario Lemieux, according to reports emerging from Pittsburgh, or at least they’re feuding or … mutually miffed? We don’t have a lot of details, so let’s try to get it right, the what-we-know. They’ve fallen out. There’s been a falling out.

Former player Matthew Barnaby is the source for this, at SiriusXM. Could be because they disagree about who’s coaching in Pittsburgh, or else … maybe it’s the 2014 playoffs that soured the relationship. Does this mean Crosby will be traded? “That,” says Barnaby, “I don’t know.”

Someone asked Mario Lemieux about all. “It’s absolutely not true,” he said. “It’s silly.”

Jagr is the cover story in the new issue of Sportsnet magazine, where his age/agelessness is again front and centre. “The time between when I quit hockey and I die,” he tells Kristina Rutherford, measuring air with his hands, “I want it to be the shortest.”

Jagr goes on:

“If I can play til I die, that’s what I will do. What else are you gonna do? Even if you retire, you still will have to go work out, and maybe harder than you do when you play hockey because you don’t wanna look ugly and fat. At least I don’t want to.”

    Text of the introduction by Joseph Planta:

    I am Planta: On the Line, in Vancouver, British Columbia, at TheCommentary.ca.

    Ken Reid joins me now. He’s just published a terrific book, Ken Reid’s Hometown Hockey Heroes. He takes us across the country to the small towns, a lot that are one industry, one company towns, where they’re far from a big city with an NHL franchise. And it’s where hockey is part of life, the culture, and the folklore. Mr. Reid tells us stories of players who don’t always make it to the big leagues, but who become legends. There are uplifting, inspiring stories, as well as heartrending ones, where hockey legends are cut down in their prime. The stories are of players who play well, and passionately regardless of the pay or size of the crowd, and yet they earn the reverence of fans. As you’ll read in the book, Ken’s gifts as a communicator come through as he tells these informative stories of leadership and grit, but when he’s talking to the guys themselves, or their families, or fans and observers alike, he’s able to get so much from who he talks to that they’re reminiscences add so much to the colour of their lives. And you see why hockey is such a popular sport. Ken captures the romanticism that a lot of fans have for hockey so well. Ken Reid has been with Sportsnet since 2011, where he co-anchors (with Evanka Osmak) their prime time broadcast Sportsnet Central. In over twenty years in broadcasting, Mr. Reid has covered the Olympics, the Stanley Cup Finals, the Grey Cup, and the Super Bowl. He is the bestselling author of five other books including Hockey Card Stories. This new book is published by Simon
