Friday, September 19th, 2008KayvonTV interviews Pro Bowl Safety Troy Polamalu as the Pittsburgh Steelers arrive in Toronto to take on the Buffalo Bills @ the Rogers Center.
Thursday, August 14th, 2008Hi Folks! Rest assured, this being Toronto and all, the great Kayvon of KayvonTV fame was indeed on the scene when the Pittsburgh Steelers arrived in Toronto last night to get ready for their preseason game at the Rogers Center against the Buffalo Bills.
I managed to get the good folks @ KayvonTV working overtime for you, and they have managed to put together my first of many KayvonTV episodes featuring The Pittsburgh Steelers and The Buffalo Bills.
In this video, I meet Pro Bowl Safety Troy Polamalu of long hair fame, I managed to ask Troy about various subjects, ranging from his thoughts on tomorrow’s game, to the possibility of him one day playing in the CFL. (The REAL football league)
KayvonTV meets San Jose Sharks NHL Superstar Joe Thornton @ the newly opened Pro Hockey Life store in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada.
Friday, July 11th, 2008KayvonTV interviews NHL Hall of Famer Paul Coffey and TSN’s Rod Black @ the Bell Celebrity Gala
Tuesday, May 13th, 2008With the NHL’s Stanley Cup Playoffs in full gear, I figured this would be the perfect time to post my interview with former NHL great Paul Coffey. Paul is known as one of the greatest offensive defenceman of all-time. Paul played for the NHL’s Pittsburgh Penguins, Hartford Whalers, Philadelphia Flyers, Detroit Red Wings, and most notably, the Edmonton Oilers, where he teamed with Mr.Wayne Gretzky, Mark Messier, and my favorite hockey player of all-time, Glenn Anderson to win several Stanley Cups.
Coffey gave me the low down on his retirement plans, his childhood playing days with my good buddy Rocket, and his thoughts on Mark Messier being inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame.
What a great guy! an absolute legend in the flesh folks! This guy has won Stanley Cups with both Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux, and helped redefine the roll of a defenceman in the modern NHL.
KayvonTV meets NBA Hall of Famer Moses Malone before the 76ers take on the Raptors at the ACC.
Sunday, April 20th, 2008The NBA playoffs are fast approaching, so I thought this would be a appropriate time for us to post an episode featuring a memorable encounter that I had with NBA legend Moses Malone, that’s right folks, the “Mailman” himself.
Moses Malone was a first ballot Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer and was named one of the 50 greatest basketball players in NBA history.
He was a 3 time NBA MVP, 12 time NBA All-Star, and ranks third all-time behind only Wilt Chamberlain and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for most points scored. He was also the first player to ever go directly from high school to the pros, whem at the age of 18 he signed with the Utah Stars of the now defunked ABA.
Needless to say I am a big fan of the Mailman, so it was a real thrill to see him in the flesh boarding the team bus before the Philadelphia Sixers faced the Toronto Raptors at the Air Canada Center.
I wish he would have been a bit nicer to me, maybe signed an autograph or two for me, perhaps like his former teammate (and current Sixers coach) Maurice “Mo” Cheeks was.
Well you can win them all Folks, after all this is Toronto, where even megastars like myself can’t score Raptors playoff tickets!!
GO RAPS!!!
KayvonTV at The Toronto Maple Leafs outdoor practice with Mats Sundin and Tomas Kaberle
Tuesday, February 19th, 2008What a great treat it was to see Mats Sundin, Tomas Kaberle, Nik Antropov and the rest of The Toronto Maple Leafs practice outside in Withrow Park deep in the heart of the east end of Toronto. A truly rare chance to get up close and personal with the hockey gods of our beloved city. One of the highlights was seeing all the Maple Leafs fans, who were happy to see there last place team practice outdoors.
KayvonTV interviews The Rascalz’ Red1 and discovers the CFL’s Atlantic Schooners
Tuesday, December 4th, 2007We continued our journey through the exciting week of the 95th Grey Cup in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. We managed to bump into MC Red1 of the Canadian rap group The Rascalz and Red1 gave me the lowdown on what the crew is up to. And I managed to make another discovery – that there is another CFL team very few people had even heard of – The Atlantic Schooners. Who knew?
KayvonTV reports from 2007 NHL Awards in Toronto
Tuesday, November 13th, 2007
Hey folks! Since it’s the big Hockey Hall of Fame induction week in Toronto right now (HHOF by the way unfortunately still perennially snubbing my favourite NHL player of all time in the legendary great Glenn Anderson – bloody well way overdue there if you ask me) – what better way to celebrate than with a special action-packed video episode celebrating the National Hockey League and its stars of past & present here (plus catching a special few celebrity surprises selectively on hand as award presenters & co-hosts there)! This is my exclusive red carpet report from the 2007 NHL Awards that took place at Toronto’s historic landmark Elgin & Winter Garden Theatre earlier this year in June. The greats of the game were out in full force and it truly was a real pleasure and thrilling honour to meet them all there in person – Joe Sakic, Cam Neely, Willie O’Ree, Chris Pronger… just too many names & so much more there to mention so you’re just going to have to click that little play button above and watch the video for yourselves really! It was especially grand to meet the high commissioner of the NHL himself, Mr. Gary B. Bettman – but something tells me he didn’t appreciate the question I posed to him at this NHL pre-awards show ceremony (hint: Hamilton Steeltown ice hockey anyone?)
I even had a chance to brush up against Mr. Hockey himself, Gordie Howe. But folks, you’re going to have to join my official Facebook group to see that video. See you there!
