Howard Tsumura Vancouver's Most Beloved Sports Writer and Founder of Varsity Letters

The interviewer becomes the interviewee on this episode, as Anthony sits down with one of BC's favourite sports writers, Howard Tsumura.   With over 38 years in the industry, Howard has covered high school, university, and professional sports with a unique flair that has made him one of the best to ever do it.   Growing up in rural Delta, BC, Tsumura never had the opportunity to participate in team sports. Keeping a scrapbook of newspaper clippings covering the Canucks, Canadiens and Expos, Howard's love of sports began to flourish. It wasn't until he entered Sands Jr. High that he saw his very first football game—he was hooked.   After finishing high school at North Delta Secondary, Howard graduated from Kwantlen Polytechnic's Journalism program, and from there, was hired to cover his very first team, the Houston Wolverines out of, you guessed it, Houston, BC.   Since that time, Howard has had an exciting journey, working as the Sports Editor for reputable publications like The Now newspaper chain and most notably, The Province and his very own, Varsity Letters.   During his interview, Tsumura recounts some of his most favourite teams over the years including Bill Disbrow's 1987/1989 Richmond Colts, and the Vancouver Grizzlies.   This is one you won't want to miss!
