Rosie DiManno

Rosie DiManno (born c. 1956)[1] is a Canadian journalist who has worked at the Toronto Star since beginning her career in 1975. In 2012 the Canadian Olympic Committee honored DiManno for covering over 10 Olympic games.[1]

Life and career

Dimanno was born in Toronto to Italian immigrants.[2] She began her career as a sportswriter in 1975.[3] DiManno has been a columnist with the Toronto Star since 1989.

DiManno is author of several books, including Glory Jays: Canada's World Series Champions, a 1993 book about The Toronto Blue Jays' World Series-winning season,[4] Rosie and the Leafs, a 2000 book about the Toronto Maple Leafs,[5] and Coach: The Pat Burns Story, a biography of National Hockey League Pat Burns.[6]

Claire Sibonney of the Ryerson Review of Journalism described DiManno as a "provocative and unpredictable bad girl".[7] DiManno's writing style has occasionally attracted negative attention internationally.[8]

On July 13, 2016, DiManno was arrested and charged with assault by the Ontario Provincial Police's Bancroft detachment stemming from an incident near Finnegan Lake. She is scheduled to appear in court on July 26, 2016, in Bancroft, Ontario.
