About the Sports Poet:
Frank Pavlick has run two marathons, once won the Calgary and District Third Division Table Tennis Championship, and sleeps every night with the gold medal he won in the 5,000 metre race in the 1975 Central Alberta Summer Games. Pavlick was born in Stellarton, Nova Scotia, in 1934. He is a father of five children, a grandfather of nine, and a Korean War veteran. He remained in Japan after the war, spending three years with the British Commonwealth Broadcasting Service, as a News and Sports reporter for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC). From Japan, Pavlick was transferred to Germany, where he spent three years as a CBC Representative with Radio Canadian Army Europe. His job involved radio broadcasting, doing all sports play-by-play, for the Canadian Forces. On January 1st, 1984, Pavlick decided that Canada should have a full-time Sports Poet. He has since written fourteen books of sports poetry. Frank won the Olympic Poetry Sweatshop during the 1988 Games in Calgary, Alberta, and he was the Official Sports Poet for the John Short (Sportstalk) Show in Edmonton for 25 years. He has made special guest appearances and has been a regular contributor of sports poetry on programmes hosted by Peter Gzowski, Vicki Gabereau and Arthur Black.
