CHRISTIE BLATCHFORD: 1951-2020

Very sad news today as it was announced that Canadian award-winning newspaper columnist Christie Blatchford has passed away.


Writing was in Christie's blood as her grandfather was noted sports writer Andy Lytle. At the Toronto Daily Star, Lytle covered the Toronto Maple Leafs and the NHL from 1934 to the late 1940s. When he joined the Star in February 1934, sports editor Lou Marsh told his readers that, "Andy would get in their hair and stick there."

The same applied to his talented granddaughter.
