Roy MacGregor has been involved in hockey all his life. Growing
up in Huntsville, Ontario, he competed for several years against a kid
named Bobby Orr, who was playing in nearby Parry Sound. He later
returned to the game when he and his family settled in Ottawa, where he
worked for the Ottawa Citizen and became the Southam National
Sports Columnist. He still plays old-timers hockey and has been a
minor-hockey coach for more than a decade.
Roy MacGregor is the
author of several classics in the literature of hockey. Home Game
(written with Ken Dryden) and The Home Team were both number one
national bestsellers. He has also written the game's best-known
novel, The Last Season. His other books include Canoe Lake, Road
Games, The Seven A.M. Practice, A Life in the
Bush, Escape, and A Loonie for Luck. He has also written books about native
leaders and the Ottawa Valley.
Roy MacGregor is now a
columnist for the Globe and Mail. He and his wife, Ellen, live in
Kanata, Ontario. They have four children, Kerry, Christine, Jocelyn, and
Gordon.
