Darren Haynes

Professional communicator with a freelance sports writing side hustle. I’ve seen a lot of things while covering the Calgary Flames as a contributor to The Canadian Press since 1989-90 when I graduated from Mount Royal College’s journalism program. Born and raised in Calgary, I haven’t gone far. Wrote for years for The Athletic before their freelance budget dried up during COVID. Once maintained a blog called FlamesFrom80Feet, which was a fun passion project. PHWA member. Miss the Montreal Expos.
