Scotiabank Hockey Day in Canada
Emma McLagan
I'm part of the content and storytelling team that produces engaging, inspiring, heartwarming, brand-building, educational features (the list can go on!) for Hockey Night in Canada, Hometown Hockey and other shows and platforms on Sportsnet. I build relationships and sit one-on-one with professional athletes, their families, friends, fans, executives and even politicians (see cover photo ⬆️). I turn interviews and high-caliber visuals into a story -- engaging our viewers, attracting new ones and thus growing the company's brand and sports properties.
My desire to learn about the world and educate others has always been important to me and led me to start my career as a teacher after graduating from McGill with a B.Ed. After developing a unit for my students in which they wrote, produced, shot and edited their own news stories based on our current events discussions, I decided I wanted to try it myself! Enter: Broadcast Journalism at BCIT. I graduated with distinction in 2009 and went on to produce features and documentaries for networks including Discovery Channel and CBC.. During that time, I also worked on-air as a sports host for CBC Vancouver for almost 6 years before moving to Toronto from Vancouver in 2014.
I thrive on experiences, and it's always been important to me that I educate and help people, companies and organizations grow. As a journalism student, I interned with the BBC World Service in London where my first phone call on Day 1 was to a civilian in Afghanistan. Early on in my TV production days, I developed an internship program for journalism students and in 2013 volunteered for a month teaching communications and visual content strategies to staff a children's hospital in Cambodia. The content they produced brought in donations instantly.
When I'm not working, you'll find me exploring the outdoors (I grew up in Vancouver, after all), visiting my family in B.C., discovering a new country or scuba diving in search of big fish (ie. sharks).
