Steve Simmons dishes it out, and Steve Simmons takes it.
He would not have that any other way. It’s been A Lucky Life.
As a national columnist with Postmedia, his articles are some of the most widely discussed amongst Canadian sports fans.
He has also appeared regularly on radio and television including TSN’s The Reporters.
Simmons began his professional writing career in 1979 at the Calgary Herald. He then shifted to the Calgary Sun right as the NHL Flames moved to town and joined his hometown Toronto Sun in 1987. He has had the privilege of covering major personalities, and incredible moments in sport, including 17 Olympics.
Simmons has written four books and collaborated on six others. His latest is a collection of selected works which were published between 1986 and 2021.
