The Rules According to Red
|
| Abstract |
A profile of the then seventy-five year old Montreal-born Red Fisher (b.1926), who was the beat writer covering the Montreal Canadiens hockey team for the Montreal newspaper The Gazette. In 1984, the newspaper's managing editor was thinking of dropping Fisher as the Canadiens' beat writer and replacing him with the woman who had been covering amateur sports for the newspaper. A few weeks later Fisher broke the biggest Montreal sports story of the decade — Québécois hockey idol Guy Lafleur's shocking retirement. When Fisher broke the story, the editor backed down, and Fisher retained his position until he retired in 2012.
