Hall of Fame
Perhaps no one knows BC High School and University sports better than Howard Tsumura. As the long time High School and University Reporter for The Province, Tsumura built a legacy which he's carried on today with his own publication: Varsity Letters, which covers countless High School and University Programs across British Columbia. Always one for a clever alliterative title, and always willing to do the groundwork to find a story many didn't even know existed, Tsumura has put many Simon Fraser athletes in the spotlight over the years.
Not only has Tsumura contributed to the Simon Fraser community as a writer, but his broadcasting work for SFU in both Basketball and Football has become a familiar voice on Simon Fraser webcasts over the years. Howard can always be counted on to have intricate knowledge of a player's high school days, and often knows teams' tendencies about as well as the teams themselves. Overall, Tsumura's impact on Simon Fraser athletics is immeasurable: his passion and dedication to providing Simon Fraser athletes with exceptional media coverage is something that will long outlast any individual story or broadcast Howard has put together on Burnaby Mountain.
