NHL Enforcer to Cop TV Show

Calgary-based author, journalist and producer Kirstie McLellan Day is hoping to turn the extensive knowledge she has gained co-writing autobiographies with Theo Fleury, the late Bob Probert and Ron MacLean into a fictional TV series about an ex-NHL tough-guy turned police detective.

McLellan Day has a deal with Shaw Media to develop the show, which is tentatively called Grinder.

“Just like he does on ice — he’s a grinder on ice — he grinds cases until he solves them,” she says.
