The best thing about doing this job is that you get to meet a lot of interesting people, each with their own story. On Sunday I had the good fortune of meeting Sarnia Sting rookie forward Gregg Sutch and his family.

Dear Media Elite,

You know, those of you who wouldn't be caught dead slumming with the likes of lowly OHL reporters... eating stale pizza and timbits, huddling around Jeff Hicks' space heater for warmth or celebrating Gary McCarthy's birthday with carrot cake.

Terry Doyle and I have this running joke: Big news always breaks when I am on vacation. It happens without fail.

When I left for Las Vegas last week I decided to take my laptop with me, so in the wake of some catastrophic event -- like the Frontenacs actually hiring a capable head coach -- I'd be able to work.

Sapurji: OHL Shopping Spree

11/09/08 13:40 , Categories: blog

I’m off to Vegas tomorrow with the Mets fan so blog entries might be a little sketchy unless I bring my computer with me.

Just letting you know, if I win a large jackpot (highly unlikely) I promise to buy the Kingston Frontenacs and run the franchise into the ground. I’m guessing fans won’t even notice the change in ownership.

Loosepucks.com: Sunaya Sapurji

Sunaya Sapurji is in her tenth season covering the Ontario Hockey League for the Toronto Star. She was called up to the AHL beat in 2003-04 to follow the Toronto Roadrunners, but they skipped town sending her back to junior.

Prior to joining the Star, Sunaya worked in television, covered Tier II Jr. A hockey, university hockey (CIAU) and hosted an OHL radio show. She graduated from York University with degrees in English and Mass Communication.

As a youngster she followed the OHL's Toronto Marlies and her favourite player --Brian Collinson.

"I was 10 years old and he signed an autograph for me - automatically making him my favourite player," she recalled. "He's probably selling insurance now."

Sunaya has also done work for ESPN Magazine and a number of U.S. papers. As a proud Canadian, she is also a big supporter of Tim Hortons coffee, which she consumes daily and in large amounts. In addition to reporting on OHL, Sunaya is a full-time copy editor in the sports department at the Star.
