Former Richmond Colts star Ron Putzi stops by to join host Howard Tsumura on this week\u2019s Varsity Letters\u2019 podcast. Tsumura covered Putzi\u2019s high school exploits just as his own career as a journalist was beginning and the two have kept in touch over the years. In this week\u2019s episode, the pair have a delightful time dissecting Putzi\u2019s rather unique multi-sport background, and also discuss the five seasons he spent stateside with the NCAA Div. 1 New Mexico State Aggies. Varsity Letters, Canada\u2019s only podcast dedicated solely to provincial university and high school sports coverage, is produced by Gabriel Lynn, and available at Apple Music, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts. Our theme music, Generation Next, is written and performed exclusively for Varsity Letters by Chad Joiner and the MEI Screaming Eagles marching band.
