In Sports Spectrum Magazine’s Winter 2022 issue, we feature some of the most faithful followers of Christ in hockey and basketball who also rank among their game’s elite.

The cover story features Colorado Avalanche defenseman Josh Manson, who endured a whirlwind year that led to him hoisting the Stanley Cup. We were able to meet up with him in person over the summer, and he shared how God worked amidst the craziness in his life — from getting traded to a long playoff run to free agency to having another baby.

We also feature Al Horford, who helped the Boston Celtics reach the NBA Finals last year. The NBA vet shared about how he’s no longer reserved when it comes to publicly expressing his faith in Christ.

University of Kentucky star Oscar Tshiebwe — the NCAA’s consensus 2022 Player of the Year — is also unashamed about sharing his faith. He spoke with us about returning to college for another year because God told him He’s not done with Oscar yet at Kentucky.

We also highlight Laila Blair, a big reason the University of Houston women’s team is on the rise. She’s a hometown star who’s grown into the role of spiritual leader on the Cougars as well.
