Rick Westhead, born in 1971 in Oakville, Ontario, is an acclaimed Canadian investigative journalist, sports correspondent, and author renowned for his deep-dive reporting on hockey and Canadian sports culture. As TSN’s Senior Correspondent and a former Toronto Star foreign correspondent, Westhead has built a career exposing systemic issues within Canadian hockey, including sexual assault, hazing, and toxic team dynamics, earning him two Canadian Sports Writer of the Year awards and multiple Canadian Screen Awards for Best Sports Feature Segment and Program. His groundbreaking 2025 book, We Breed Lions: Confronting Canada’s Troubled Hockey Culture, examines the entrenched culture of masculinity and misconduct in junior and professional hockey, combining meticulous investigative research with firsthand interviews, case studies, and insider perspectives, revealing both institutional failings and the human cost of silenced abuse. Earlier works, including Finding Murph, highlight the personal struggles of players outside the spotlight, demonstrating his commitment to telling nuanced, socially conscious sports stories. Westhead is also active on social media, particularly X (formerly Twitter), where he engages with readers and amplifies ongoing discussions on sports ethics, accountability, and reform, cementing his reputation as both a journalist and cultural commentator.
