SportsLit (Season 4, Episode 1) - Roy MacGregor - The Ice Chips and the Stolen Cup (Volume 4)

It’s a first!  We cover a children’s book.  Put your preconceptions aside, because although The Ice Chips series is aimed at kids, the historical and contemporary themes carry a weight that people from all ages and walks of life can appreciate.  So, who created this ongoing tale of a diverse time-traveling minor hockey team?  Prolific Canadian journalist/author Roy MacGregor (O.C. - 2005, Hockey Hall of Fame - 2012) and his daughter Kerry.  With the fourth installment just released in February (The Ice Chips and the Stolen Cup), Roy spoke with us over the phone from his home in Ottawa, about this project, classic material, as well as the state of sports media.
