Roy Spencer, brandishing a pistol, told the CKPG staff that he wanted to watch the Toronto Maple Leafs game. “His son, Spinner, was going to be playing,” recalls the newsroom's former receptionist.
In recent years, athletes — including swimmer Michael Phelps, the NBA’s Kevin Love and soccer players Abby Wambach and Hope Solo — have spoken publicly about their mental health struggles. More and more pro sports teams and programs are making mental health a priority for their players. But 50 years ago, that was not the case.When you look up Fort St. James, British Columbia, the first thing you'll find is that it is a former fur trading outpost.
The normally introverted Roy Spencer invited friends and family to his Fort St. James home for a watch party. He bought a big TV antenna because CKPG, the closest CBC affiliate carrying"Hockey Night In Canada," was about 100 miles away in Prince George. With the pistol in the back of news director Stu Fawcett, the man herded the entire news staff into the television studio.
"And he was saying, 'Listen, I've got a problem with the CBC, and I want to watch the Toronto Maple Leafs game,'"Rea says. "So anybody in Prince George at that time who was watching television, their screen would have gone black with no explanation," Fawcett says. According to one account, Roy Spencer died as Brian was being interviewed between periods at Maple Leaf Gardens.
