- Since coming to Edmonton in 1995, Terry McConnell has become one of the city’s most widely read journalists. His columns in the Edmonton Journal are read by up to a quarter of a million people every day. One of his columns is also published every Thursday in Florida’s Sarasota Herald-Tribune. In addition to column-writing, Terry is a published author. He is co-writer of the book I’d Trade Him Again: On Gretzky, Politics and the Pursuit of the Perfect Deal, about the former owner of the Edmonton Oilers, Peter Pocklington. It was published by Key Porter Books in October 2009. Born in Ingersoll, Ontario, near London, Terry studied journalism at Mohawk College in Hamilton, then landed his first job as a sportswriter at the Valley Journal in suburban Dundas in 1973. He eventually returned to the family business in Tilbury, near Windsor, and later purchased his father’s two newspapers, the Tilbury Times and the North Essex News in Belle River, and launched a third, Shoreline Week, in nearby St. Clair Beach. His newspapers were sold in 1994, and the following year he and his family moved west.
