The family travelled across the Atlantic, settling in Welland, Ontario where Haney and his brother Chris were raised.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEducated at Colgate University on a hockey scholarship, John held a variety of disparate positions — ranging from a brief stint with the Los Angeles Kings and playing for teams in Austria and Denmark. He worked at a Danish slaughterhouse, as an actor at Stratford and as house manager at the Shaw Festival – readers get a glimpse at how Haney acquired a plethora of knowledge that he imparted as one of the four guys that made Trivial Pursuit. Published in twenty-six countries, in seventeen languages, and with over fifty spin-off editions, Trivial Pursuit remains a favourite of trivia buffs and game nights.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Haney (CA)","offers":[{"title":"Cormorant Books |  Paperback \/ softback | Trade paperback (US) |  2024-04-27","offer_id":44652633129215,"sku":"9781770867307","price":24.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_03bc0509-80aa-4f75-9d15-1508c38ecaf4.jpg?v=1707470317","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9781770867307","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
