Encyclopedia
Calum MacLeod is the co-host, writer, creator and creative producer of the Canadian television series Road Hockey Rumble
. He was born in the house of Taurus at Winnipeg’s St. Boniface Hospital but spent his early years in Edinburgh
, Scotland, before moving back to Winnipeg
at the age of nine. Shortly thereafter he was introduced to the game of road hockey when he grabbed one of his neighbour’s broken sticks out of the garbage. Since then, Calum has been wreaking havoc in road hockey games from Winnipeg to Prince George
and finally to Vancouver
.
It was in Vancouver that his over-exuberant hitting, trash talking, and mucking gave him a reputation as a terror on the courts of UBC
intramurals' Tier Three ball hockey league.
Calum majored in Film Production at the University of British Columbia. He produced the 2005 National Screen Institute ZeD Drama Prize film Gravity Boy, which was broadcast on CBC
Television in Fall 2006.
