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
Road Games, The Seven A.M. Practice, and A Life in the Bush, a
memoir of his father. He has also written books about native
leaders and the Ottawa Valley.
Roy MacGregor is now a senior columnist for the National Post. He
and his wife, Ellen, live in Kanata, Ontario. They have four
children, Kerry, Christine, Jocelyn, and Gordon.
