EDITOR’ S NOTE
HAPPY NEW YEAR! NOW, GIVE ME MORE ART
As another year dawns on us, I am reminded that words are wonderful things. People hang on them. They love them, hate them, argue over them, praise their friends with them. Here at Game On
Magazine we use words to tell the stories of the young men and women who play hockey in Manitoba.
More important, however, are pictures. As Tom Thiessen, a brilliant magazine publisher once told me,“ They didn’ t call it Sports Words, they called it Sports Illustrated.” I have never and will never forget those words.
Here at Game On, we have a group of six staff photographers, both full-time and part-time and you should know them as well as you know the athletes they capture every day.
James Carey Lauder teaches photography at Tec Voc High School and is also a fixture at Jets games. He provided us with the shots of Matt Calvert, Calvin Pickard and Adam Wowryk, in this issue and I’ m sure you’ ll agree, they’ re brilliant.
Jeff and Tara Miller operate 100 Acre Woods Photography and they both shoot the Bisons, the Goldeyes and most of our amateur events. Jeff and Tara love their work and they both have that great eye for the big shot. Jeff took the cover photo of Brayden Foreman and also has this month’ s Photo of the Month.
Bruce Fedyck is the talent behind M2RSPORTS. com. His business ad appears in this magazine and his enthusiasm for shooting hockey knows no bounds. He takes our RHA Nationals photos and has some great shots of Justin Nachbaur in this issue.
Rusty Barton shoots for Team Canada and is also a fixture, with Bruce and Carey, at Jets games. Rusty is an old pro.
Will Borys is a newcomer for us but he’ s a regular Jets shooter for mytoba. ca and he provided us with some terrific shots of Scott Glennie and Calvin Pickard for this issue.
To all of our shooters, the folks who provide the photos for this magazine, we are deeply indebted. While words are certainly important, Game On Magazine does not shine without the brilliant pictures of our brilliant athletes.
