Attention all sports fans! Have we got a treat for you!

James Duthie, Host, NHL on TSN

As one of her special guests at this year’s Annual Celebrity Event at Fed Hall on November 25th, honouree Lisa LaFlamme has invited none other than Gemini Award-winning James Duthie, host of NHL on TSN. He has been hailed as one of the most talented stars in sports broadcasting today.
 
In addition to his duties at TSN, James joined Lisa in co-hosting CTV’s Olympic Daytime during the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games. He also hosted coverage of Team Canada Men’s Hockey during the Games. Talk about a dream job!

This coverage garnered James the Gemini Award for Best Sportscaster or Anchor in 2010. He previously won this same award in 2009 for hosting ‘NHL on TSN TradeCentre ’09’.

James also has two previous Olympic Games and a whole roster of other sports shows under his belt, including stints as co-host of the evening edition of SportsCentre, host of TSN’s CFL studio show and time spent covering the NBA.

James’ talents lie not only in broadcast journalism, but print journalism as well. In 2010, he published two books - They Call Me Killer: Tales from Junior Hockey’s Legendary Hall-of-Fame Coach and The Day I (Almost) Killed Two Gretzkys.

We can’t wait to welcome James to Waterloo later this month and hear what he has to say about Lisa.
