SPJN parlays story onto MLB Web site

Four Toronto Blue Jays’ players, along with manager John Gibbons, got a birds-eye view of Canada’s national game when they attended a Kingston Frontenacs’ hockey game in January. It was all part of the major league baseball club’s annual winter tour. SPJN students Liam McGuire and Danny Wright were on hand to cover the event.

            Adam Lind sported an impressive toque complete with pom-pom as he and teammates Anthony Gose, Steve Delabar, and Josh Thole took part in a ceremonial puck drop. McGuire and Wright got to interview the Jays who mingled with fans and took in the OHL game between Kingston and the Oshawa Generals.

            “Josh (Thole) knew a lot about hockey. He said he’s a fan of the Colorado Avalanche,” McGuire said. “But most of them didn’t have much experience watching hockey. They’d never been to an OHL game before.”

            McGuire’s story on the Jays’ visit was posted on the MLB Web site. Wright’s story will be broadcast in an upcoming edition of the SPJN students’ show 110% Sports.

            Here’s the link to McGuire’s story:
