M Gordon HunterM. Gordon Hunter has always had a deep love and appreciation for the game of Hockey, and as goalie, he started playing (indoors) when he was thirteen, won the Saskatchewan Provincial Midget A Championship with his team at fifteen, became an All-Star t the junior level at seventeen, and was awarded a Molson Hockey Scholarship to attend university. This was the beginning of his extensive and accomplished career in academia and as a systems analyst and manager in Canada, within both industry and various government organizations.

Appointed Professor Emeritus upon his retirement in July of 2016, Hunter received his PhD from Strathclyde Business School in Glasgow, Scotland, and over the years, held academic positions at universities in Canada, Hong Kong, and Singapore. He has written and published countless academic articles, chapters, papers, and books over the years, but as of late, he has found a great deal of pleasure in applying that writing experience to the world of hockey, creating entertaining stories and poetry that captures both the sport itself and the feelings and memories it brings to the surface.

Born in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan and growing up in Saskatoon, Hunter has known his wife, Shirley, since grade four, and the pair have been married for fifty-two years, having gotten married in 1970 just four days after writing their final university exams. After living in various locations in Canada, the United States, Singapore, and Hong Kong, the couple now live in Lethbridge, Alberta, and have two sons (who live on Vancouver Island) and two grandchildren.
