Alex J. Walling
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alex J. Walling also known as A.J. Walling is a major sports analyst in Atlantic Canada. He also contributes weekly to a sports column on www.tsn.ca, and daily on Halifax Information Radio (97.9 FM radio). Never afraid to "tell it like it is," Alex has been observering Atlantic University football for over two decades. AJ has covered major professional sporting events, including the 1972 Summit Series where he was one of the first to talk to Paul Henderson, moments after the historic goal. He is also active in covering sports from the High School level and began by covering the 1973 High School Provincial Football Championship featuring the Queen Elizabeth Lions Football team.
Wallings distinctive voice is well known by all Nova Scotians, and many Atlantic Canadians as well, and is considered as the top resident sports expert, above local gurus Harv Stewart and Cecil Wright. Walling was the first Halifax-based sports anchor at MITV (now Global Maritimes) when it went on the air in 1988.
Among his favorite teams are the Saint Mary's Huskies, the Saint Pat's Fighting Irish and the Halifax Mooseheads.
