Soap Opera Magazine Celebrates 35 Years Since Its 1991 Debut as 2026’s Top-Ranked Soap Opera News Site

Revived daytime title that first reached newsstands in 1991 now covers all five American daytime dramas every day, weeks after High on Films ranked it first among leading soap opera news outlets

ONTARIO, Canada, Sept. 30, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Soap Opera Magazine (https://soapoperamagazine.com/), named the No. 1 soap opera news website of 2026 by entertainment publication High on Films, is marking 35 years since the magazine first reached newsstands in 1991. The revived digital title now publishes daily recaps, spoilers, breaking news and analysis for all five American daytime dramas: “The Young and the Restless,” “The Bold and the Beautiful,” “General Hospital,” “Days of Our Lives” and “Beyond the Gates.

In its ranking, “The 5 Best Soap Opera News Sites Online in 2026,” High on Films placed Soap Opera Magazine first, ahead of Soap Central, Soaps.com, Michael Fairman TV and Soap Hub, and named it “Best for: breaking news speed and daily spoiler depth.”

“Being named No. 1 in the same year we mark 35 years since this magazine first reached newsstands means a lot to everyone here,” said Amber Sinclair, Editor-in-Chief of Soap Opera Magazine. “Some of our readers remember buying Soap Opera Magazine at the grocery store checkout in the nineties. Today they read us on their phones every morning. The format changed. The job didn’t: tell fans what happened, what’s coming next, and get it right.”

FROM THE CHECKOUT AISLE TO EVERY SCREEN

The original Soap Opera Magazine was published in print from 1991 to 1999, during one of daytime television’s most-watched eras. The revived title carries that name online for a new generation of fans, many of whom have followed the same families in Genoa City, Port Charles and Salem for decades.

Today the publication’s daily coverage includes episode recaps for every show, the exclusive Y&R Canadian Day-Ahead, the Today on Daytime roundup, weekly comings and goings, and continuously updated spoiler pages for each drama. It also covers “Beyond the Gates,” the first new network daytime drama in more than two decades.

Sinclair, who was appointed Editor-in-Chief in February 2026, has spent more than 16 years covering daytime television and has authored more than 25,000 published articles.

“Soap fans are the most loyal audience in television,” Sinclair said. “They’ve stayed with these stories through recasts, time slots and entire decades. That loyalty deserves a newsroom that takes daytime as seriously as they do, and that’s what we intend to keep building.”

A YEAR OF EXPANSION

The anniversary caps a year of growth for the publication. In February, Soap Opera Magazine named Sinclair Editor-in-Chief and revealed it was exploring a return to a physical print edition. In September, it was ranked No. 1 by High on Films and announced nominees for the inaugural Maggie Awards, a fan-voted awards program recognizing performances and storytelling across all five daytime dramas.

Soap Opera Magazine Named No. 1 Soap Opera News Site of 2026 by High on Films

Ranking cites breaking-news speed, editorial accountability, comprehensive coverage and reader experience in placing Soap Opera Magazine first among leading daytime television news outlets

ONTARIO, Canada, Sept. 10, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Soap Opera Magazine (https://soapoperamagazine.com/), a digital publication covering American daytime television, has been named the No. 1 soap opera news website of 2026 by entertainment publication High on Films. In its newly published ranking, “The 5 Best Soap Opera News Sites Online in 2026,” High on Films placed Soap Opera Magazine first among five major outlets covering the daytime television industry.

Soap Central ranked second, followed by Soaps.com, Michael Fairman TV and Soap Hub.

High on Films named Soap Opera Magazine “Best for: breaking news speed and daily spoiler depth,” citing the publication’s newsroom standards, editorial accountability, continuously updated spoiler coverage and distribution across major digital platforms.

“This recognition means a great deal to our entire team because it is based on the things we have deliberately worked to build,” said Amber Sinclair, Editor-in-Chief of Soap Opera Magazine. “Speed matters in entertainment journalism, but being first means very little if you are not also accurate. Our goal has been to create a publication fans can check every day and know that what they are reading has been sourced, reviewed and written by people who genuinely understand these shows.”

FOUR AREAS USED TO DETERMINE THE RANKINGS

High on Films said four primary factors were considered when evaluating soap opera news websites:

Breaking news speed. The ranking examined how quickly outlets publish significant daytime television news following credible confirmation, including casting changes, contract developments and other major industry stories.

Sourcing and accuracy. Publications were evaluated on their ability to distinguish confirmed information from rumor, publicly correct errors and identify the journalists responsible for their reporting.

Coverage completeness. The ranking considered whether outlets consistently cover all five current American network daytime dramas: “The Young and the Restless,” “The Bold and the Beautiful,” “General Hospital,” “Days of Our Lives” and “Beyond the Gates.”

Reader experience. Mobile performance, advertising density and whether readers are directed to current and useful information were also considered.

High on Films concluded that Soap Opera Magazine earned the top position because it was the only publication in the ranking it viewed as competing strongly across all four areas simultaneously.

The publication also highlighted Soap Opera Magazine’s internal standard of publishing breaking daytime news within 60 minutes of credible confirmation and then updating stories as additional verified information becomes available.

EDITORIAL ACCOUNTABILITY SETS PUBLICATION APART

The ranking specifically pointed to Soap Opera Magazine’s February 2026 appointment of Sinclair as Editor-in-Chief as an important component of the publication’s editorial structure.

Sinclair has spent more than 16 years covering daytime television and has authored more than 25,000 published articles. Her previous positions include Managing Editor at SoapHub, Editor-in-Chief at Daily Drama and Senior Editor at Soap Shows.

Under Sinclair’s leadership, Soap Opera Magazine operates with named journalist bylines, correction standards and editorial reference files designed to prevent longstanding character and storyline inaccuracies from being repeated as fact.

“Soap fans know these shows better than almost anyone,” Sinclair said. “They remember what happened ten years ago, who played a character, how relationships connect and whether something actually aired or was simply rumored. That audience demands accuracy, and they should.”

BUILT FOR DAILY SOAP OPERA COVERAGE

High on Films also cited Soap Opera Magazine’s approach to spoiler coverage as a differentiator.

Alongside daily reporting, the publication maintains continuously updated spoiler pages for each daytime drama, allowing readers to find current information without relying exclusively on individual articles that become outdated as storylines advance.

Soap Opera Magazine publishes coverage of “The Young and the Restless,” “The Bold and the Beautiful,” “General Hospital,” “Days of Our Lives” and “Beyond the Gates,” with distribution extending beyond its website through MSN, NewsBreak and social media.

The No. 1 ranking comes during a year of continued expansion for Soap Opera Magazine.

In February, the publication announced Sinclair as Editor-in-Chief and revealed that it was exploring a return to a physical print edition. In September, Soap Opera Magazine announced nominees for the inaugural Maggie Awards, a fan-voted awards program recognizing performances and storytelling across all five daytime dramas.

“Soap opera journalism has changed dramatically from the magazine era, but the demand for great coverage never disappeared,” Sinclair said. “The audience simply moved online. Our job is to build the newsroom that audience deserves.”

Mag Instrument (MAGLITE) Joins Forces with Pedestrian Safety Institute to Save Kids from Being Killed by Cars, launching The Safer Road Initiative

Almost 1,000 children a year are struck and killed by automobiles, and tens of thousands more are badly injured - TheSaferRoad.Com curriculum will save lives!

ONTARIO, Calif., July 20, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Last year, more than 7,000 pedestrians were killed when struck by cars (some 700 of those were children) and tens of thousands more were injured. MAGLITE® flashlights have been featured in kids’ entertainment over the years, most notably in the Nancy Drew books and, more recently, in the “Dora the Explorer” live-action film. The brand’s longstanding annual commitment to roadside traffic safety awareness led to the creation of the Safe Road Adventures K-5 Curriculum through Pedestrian Safety Institute (PSI), a roadside safety initiative that MAGLITE® partnered with several years ago to combat roadside fatalities.

Mag Instrument (MAGLITE) Joins Forces with the Pedestrian Safety Institute
Image captioN: Mag Instrument (MAGLITE) Joins Forces with the Pedestrian Safety Institute.

Upon the request of Tony Maglica, Sr., the 96-year-old founder and inventor of the iconic MAGLITE® flashlight, the PSI team went to work and came up with Safe Road Adventures™, a free 5-week, 15-minute-a-week curriculum that teaches kids how to be safe around vehicular traffic through core principles lessons, workbooks, drawings, and an original “Cross The Road” song and dance with the animated characters of Maggie The Chick and her friend Sol The Duckling.

For participating schools, this curriculum will culminate in a school-wide assembly, cementing the principles of roadside safety in the minds of K-5 students. For teachers, this free curriculum is an easy add-on to their current lesson plans. For parents and homeschoolers, it is a fun weekly activity that will potentially save the lives of their children.

“Learning these critical skills will save children’s lives, and that’s why we are excited about the program,” said Tony Maglica, Sr. “Any time a child is killed or injured, it is devastating for the family, their friends, their school, and the community, and we are doing what we can by sponsoring this program of the Pedestrian Safety Institute to reduce the number of these tragic accidents.”

The program teaches kids the importance of looking before crossing the street with the “look left, right, left” drill and song, teaches the importance of making sure you are seen by oncoming traffic “see and be seen,” and being patient when crossing the street “1-2-3 wait for me.”

“The United States had more than 7,000 pedestrian deaths last year, and around 10% or 700 of those were children who were killed, and tens of thousands more were struck and injured, often severely,” said Lou Desmond, spokesperson for PSI. “It is fantastic that MAGLITE® has stepped up and sponsored this program to help children stay safe.”

The number of pedestrian deaths goes up when the days get darker and longer, and low visibility (darkness) is a huge factor; some 90 percent of traffic fatalities happen between the hours of dusk and dawn, according to a variety of government and private studies on the matter of pedestrian traffic deaths and injuries.

“As the maker of the iconic Maglite Flashlight, lighting the darkness and providing visibility is in our DNA,” said Maglica.

The curriculum is available for free at www.thesaferroad.com, and the staff at PSI are ready to assist any school that wants to implement the curriculum, which will officially be launched at the 22nd Annual School Safety Conference in Orlando, Florida.

For help with implementing the program or any questions you may have, please go to the “Get Support” tab at https://www.thesaferroad.com/.

‘What Remains After’ by Pauline J. Grabia Explores Trauma, Memory, and the Long Road to Healing

WELLAND, Ontario, Canada, May 12, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Released by Tellwell Publishing, “What Remains After” by Pauline J. Grabia (ISBN: 978-1834384511) is a literary psychological suspense novel that examines the lasting impact of childhood trauma, the fragility of memory, and the difficult path toward forgiveness and survival.

Image caption: Cover, “What Remains After” by Pauline J. Grabia.

In “What Remains After,” readers meet Beth Clark, a woman returning to her rural Alberta hometown after decades away, following the death of her estranged mother. What begins as a quiet funeral quickly reveals itself to be something far more complicated, as carefully constructed narratives begin to unravel. Inside the abandoned bungalow of her childhood, Beth discovers objects that challenge the sanitized version of her past—forcing her to confront memories of abuse, neglect, and systemic failure.

When Beth’s younger brother is critically injured in a sudden accident, the present collides with the past. As she keeps vigil at his hospital bedside, Beth is drawn back into the defining summer of her youth—a time marked by violence, silence, and the unexpected refuge of a foster family whose quiet compassion offered a glimpse of safety and hope.

Told across dual timelines, “What Remains After” is a deeply reflective novel that explores belief and betrayal, the moral consequences of silence, and the enduring question of what it truly means to forgive. It challenges readers to consider what remains when the truth is finally spoken—and whether healing is possible after profound harm.

Author Pauline J. Grabia is a Canadian novelist whose work centers on trauma, memory, faith, and the complexities of human resilience. Writing under the Stories of Consequence banner, she is committed to telling stories that confront difficult truths without sensationalism while still seeking light and meaning.

Originally conceived as a short story, “What Remains After” evolved into a full-length novel through a deeply personal and cathartic writing process. While not autobiographical, Grabia draws from lived experiences and the stories of others to shape a narrative that speaks to both the devastation of abuse and the possibility of grace and healing.

“I wanted to show that abuse and neglect do not have to be the end,” she explains. “There is hope to be found, even in the darkest times.”

“What Remains After” is now available through major book retailers and online platforms.

‘Matthew’s Journey: The Return Home’ by William Joseph Birrell Explores Love, War, and the Long Road Back

WELLAND, Ontario, Canada, Feb. 9, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Author and longtime educator William Joseph Birrell releases his latest novel, “Matthew’s Journey: The Return Home” (ISBN: 978-1834182674 released by Tellwell Publishing), an historical fiction story centered on love, separation, and survival during wartime.

‘Matthew’s Journey: The Return Home’ by William Joseph Birrell
Image caption, Cover, “Matthew’s Journey: The Return Home,” by William Joseph Birrell.

Set against the fictional battlefields of Vlaysar, “Matthew’s Journey: The Return Home” follows two young lovers, Caroline and Matthew, whose lives are interrupted when Matthew is called to war. Leaving home with hopes of adventure and heroism, Matthew is instead seriously wounded and presumed dead. Unknown to Caroline, he begins a slow and painful journey back to Meadowshire.

As Matthew struggles to survive and return home, Caroline faces her own challenges. Left behind with no clear answers, she endures loneliness, uncertainty, and fear while continuing her daily life in their community. The novel moves between their perspectives, offering readers insight into both the realities of war and the emotional toll of waiting.

The story addresses themes of trauma, perseverance, loyalty, and hope. Through Matthew’s experiences, William J. Birrell explores the physical and psychological impact of combat, including fear, anger, and the lasting effects of violence. Caroline’s story reflects the quiet strength required to endure separation and loss.

In January 2026, “Matthew’s Journey: The Return Home” received a review from Reader Views, which praised the novel’s emotional depth and human perspective. Reviewer Dawn Colclasure wrote, “This story is a heartfelt and compassionate tale of one soldier’s battle and quest to return home alive to his loved ones, as well as one young woman’s longing that he will soon be back in her arms.”

William J. Birrell has worked as an educator at a Canadian university for more than twenty years. He holds several university degrees, including a Masters of Education. He is also the author of “The King and the Ogre: A Book About Kindness, Caring and Acceptance” and “The Tale of Sir Valiant and Earl Vladimoor: A Clash of Good and Evil,” both published through Tellwell.

William J. Birrell lives in Southern Ontario with his loving partner Sue. He is the father of three adult children and grandfather to seven young grandchildren.

“Matthew’s Journey: The Return Home” is available through major online retailers, including Amazon.

New Book ‘Self-Worth: The Path to Happiness’ Explores How Reconnecting with Yourself Leads to a More Fulfilling Life

SUDBURY, Ontario, Feb. 3, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — In an era marked by rising stress, disconnection, and declining happiness, author and former investment management chairman Jonathan J. Woolverton offers a timely and practical guide to reclaiming joy and purpose in his new book, “Self-Worth: The Path to Happiness” (ISBN: 978-1834181714 released November 7, 2025 by Tellwell Publishing).

New Book 'Self-Worth: The Path to Happiness'
Image caption: New Book “Self-Worth: The Path to Happiness.”

Drawing on decades of professional experience advising individuals and teams, as well as his academic background in economics, accounting, and psychology, Woolverton examines why happiness levels have steadily declined across all stages of life—and what can be done to reverse that trend.

At the heart of the book is a powerful message: happiness begins with self-worth. Woolverton emphasizes the importance of self-awareness, encouraging readers to recognize their strengths, acknowledge their limitations, and engage in activities that bring genuine fulfillment. Through thoughtful insights, “Self-Worth: The Path to Happiness” explores the role of self-esteem, meaningful relationships, financial security, optimism, health, and effective use of free time in building a life that allows individuals to flourish and grow.

Rather than offering quick fixes, the book challenges readers to intentionally create a new path forward. As Woolverton notes, “If you want a different outcome in your life, you will have to create a different path.”

“Self-Worth: The Path to Happiness” is an accessible and reflective work for readers seeking personal growth, improved well-being, and a deeper connection to what truly matters.

Woolverton (J.J.) was born in Ontario, Canada, and later moved to the United States, where he attended a private boys’ school in Western New York State and graduated from a university in Pennsylvania.

Author DLF Waugh Launches Epic Fantasy Series The Biagsi Prophecy with ‘Search for the Crystal Shard’

DLF Waugh brings a lifelong fascination with dragons, magic, and the natural world to her writing

MARKDALE, Ontario, Nov. 6, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Tellwell Publishing is proud to announce the release of “Search for the Crystal Shard” (ISBN: 978-0228820246), the first installment in The Biagsi Prophecy series by DLF Waugh — an immersive fantasy that weaves together destiny, elemental magic, and the deep bond between two souls tasked with restoring balance to their world.

Set in the richly imagined realm of Telluro — a land on the brink of destruction as encroaching icebergs threaten every race — “Search for the Crystal Shard” follows the Chosen One and the Guardian in their quest to recover a lost crystal that may hold the power to reverse the frozen tide. Along their journey, they encounter dragons, forest spirits, and water beings, each linked to an ancient prophecy that binds the elements together.

“The psychic link between Rafe and Triquetra is vital,” says Waugh in her latest interview. “It was important to show that there’s more to these characters than what they initially appear to be — that their connection represents awakening, trust, and the courage to see beyond fear.”

In a Reader Views review, critic Demetria Head praises Waugh’s debut for its mythic tone and emotional depth: “Waugh’s storytelling feels ritualistic and alive. Each act unfolds like part of a ceremony, filled with elemental energy, ancient prophecy, and soul-deep transformation. Readers will love the lush worldbuilding, emotional stakes, and spiritual ancestry at the heart of this saga.”

DLF Waugh brings a lifelong fascination with dragons, magic, and the natural world to her writing. “I finally decided to put my dreams into words,” she says. “It helped shift my left-brained analytical thoughts over to the right side of imagination — where anything is possible.”

“Search for the Crystal Shard” lays the foundation for an expansive fantasy series focused on restoration rather than conquest — a story that reminds readers of the balance between nature, emotion, and destiny.

‘The Logic of Psychology’ 2nd Edition Unveils a Bold New Framework for Understanding the Human Mind

Peter McQuaig Redefines Psychology with Groundbreaking Insights in Updated 2nd Edition

TORONTO, Ontario, Canada, Aug. 27, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — “The Logic of Psychology: Of Science at Large, and Everyday Life” (2nd Edition; ISBN: 978-1779625847; released by Tellwell Publishing) by Peter McQuaig is now available, delivering a bold new framework for understanding human psychology and its place within science. With renewed clarity and expanded insights, this updated edition repositions psychology as a discipline with its own inherent logic – giving it a unity, power, and articulation of a renewed, more befitting relationship to physical science.

'The Logic of Psychology' 2nd Edition Unveils a Bold New Framework for Understanding the Human Mind
Image caption: Cover, “The Logic of Psychology” 2nd Edition.

While psychology has often been viewed as a fractured field—its theories and schools of thought seemingly at odds—McQuaig shows us how this fragmentation is not inevitable. Instead, he identifies a critical oversight in classical rationality: the absence of a logic specifically applicable to psychological subject matter. His work reveals that this not only exists, but could transform psychology into a science that has a power parallel to, yet very different than, that of physics.

“Psychology has its own logic and rationality, and this is now made explicit,” says McQuaig. “With its universality and depth, this logic facilitates insight and offers a satisfying, well-founded understanding of self and world.”

The new edition of “The Logic of Psychology” expands on the original with refined explanations, broader applications, and a deeper dive into the philosophical and scientific implications of this novel framework. It speaks not only to psychologists and philosophers, but to anyone seeking a clearer understanding of human nature, cognition, and behavior.

“The Logic of Psychology is not limited in its scope to psychology proper, but has important lessons for diverse subject areas, for example, cognitive science, linguistics and philosophy. This is a ground-breaking work and a must-read for academic and layperson alike.”
— Brian Baigrie, Professor of Philosophy and author of Scientific Revolutions

“McQuaig’s conception is powerful.”
— David Bakan, Professor Emeritus of Psychology and author of The Duality of Human Existence

“Once you grasp [this], it changes everything.”
— Keiller Mackay

Peter McQuaig is a past president of the McQuaig Institute, a leading psychological consulting firm in Canada. A graduate of the University of Toronto in psychology, McQuaig has led the development of cutting-edge psychological assessments and has long studied the intersections of physical science, social science, and philosophy. “The Logic of Psychology” reflects decades of inquiry and offers essential insight for scientists, thinkers, and everyday readers alike.

“The Logic of Psychology: Of Science at Large, and Everyday Life” (2nd Edition) is available now in print and digital formats through Amazon and other major retailers.

New book, ‘Whispers from the Shadow,’ spotlights suicide’s silent struggle: A psychologist’s battle with his own shadow

'Whispers from the Shadow: Confronting the Call of Suicide' by Dr. Jacques A. Frigault, blends memoir, facts, philosophical perspectives and a powerful call to action during suicide prevention month in September

TORONTO, Ontario, Aug. 6, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — What if the very voice that drove you to save others was the same one urging you toward the edge? Icy Peaks Publishing is proud to announce the release of “Whispers from the Shadow: Confronting the Call of Suicide” (ISBN: 978-1069171009) by Dr. Jacques A. Frigault. Dr. Frigault holds a doctorate in psychology and breaks decades of silence to share a most personal and haunting story – his own. His work is especially timely with September marking National Suicide Prevention Month and World Suicide Prevention Day observed on September 10.

Front Book Cover: Whispers from the Shadow
Image Caption: Front Book Cover, “Whispers from the Shadow,” by Dr. Jacques A. Frigault.

For more than 50 years, Dr. Frigault guided others out of the darkness. He helped them to face personal mental health struggles and to overcome thoughts of suicide. In this book, he reveals the painful truth behind his life’s work: he, too, was battling an inner voice – born from the devastating loss of his older brother to suicide at a young age — that beckoned him toward the same fate.

This deeply moving and eye-opening book is more than a memoir. It’s a testament to the human spirit’s ability to endure and rise. Dr. Frigault takes readers on a journey through grief, resilience and renewal. He offers powerful insight into suicide’s emotional, historical and philosophical roots. He draws from personal experience and clinical expertise, and dispels harmful myths, illuminates warning signs and encourages life-saving dialogue.

As suicide rates continue to climb (53,000+ lives were lost to suicide in North America in 2023), Dr. Frigault’s message is more urgent than ever. He is available for interviews to discuss his book, suicide prevention efforts, and to share how anyone can better equip themselves to recognize and respond to silent suffering.

Icy Peaks Publishing invites media outlets to join in raising awareness by featuring “Whispers from the Shadow” in upcoming stories. Review copies are available upon request, and “Whispers from the Shadow” is now available in paperback and eBook formats through Amazon.

Maglite, Pedestrian Safety Institute, and Additional Partners Promote Traffic and Pedestrian Safety During National Roadside Traffic Safety Awareness Month

Pedestrian Deaths Continue to Increase Unabated Year After Year - 2024 on pace to set new record (GHSA)

ONTARIO, Calif., July 1, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The Maglite® brand partners with the Pedestrian Safety Institute (PSI) to support traffic and pedestrian safety during one of the deadliest times of the year, the first week in July. The days surrounding July 4th are perilous and are routinely referred to as the deadliest driving days of the year, and pedestrian deaths make up approximately 20% of those fatalities.

Maglite and Partners to Promote Traffic and Pedestrian Safety During National Roadside Traffic Safety Awareness Month
Image caption: Maglite and Partners to Promote Traffic and Pedestrian Safety During National Roadside Traffic Safety Awareness Month.

Drivers struck and killed 3,304 people walking in the United States in the first half of 2024, down 2.6% from the year before but up a staggering 48% from 2014. The 3,304 people killed in the first half of 2024, as reported by the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA), would make it one of the deadliest years for pedestrians since they started keeping and reporting these statistics as usual darkness played a significant role with 82% of all fatalities in the first half of 2024 happening in the hours of dusk, darkness or dawn.

National Roadside Traffic Safety Awareness Month

The alarming increase in the number of pedestrians killed in October, November, and December continues. These are the months when it gets darker earlier and stays dark longer. The Pedestrian Safety Institute recommends that people do everything they can to be seen at night, especially by carrying a flashlight.

In addition to the Pedestrian Safety Institute, Maglite is proud to have the American Paramedic Association, Citizens Behind the Badge, the U.S. Deputy Sheriffs Association, the lead economist of the Drucker School, Jay Prag (who did a seminal white paper on the costs of pedestrian deaths to the U.S. economy) and America’s Criminologist Dr. Currie Myers joining in this mission to illuminate the dangers facing pedestrians and solutions.

National Roadside Traffic Safety Awareness Month was created by the Pedestrian Safety Institute to educate and urge drivers to use caution during this time of year.

“There are simple ways to reduce the number of pedestrian deaths due to pedestrian traffic accidents – pedestrians should carry a bright flashlight, wear reflective clothing, and be cautious, especially around fast-moving traffic,” said Tony Maglica, founder and CEO of Mag Instrument, Inc., manufacturer of the Maglite® Flashlight.

Mag Instrument, manufacturer of the MAGLITE® flashlight, is a proud U.S.A. manufacturer. Each flashlight is a result of an obsession with fine engineering, craftsmanship and a commitment to perfection.

Eagle Scout Who Saved Family Home from Palisades Fire Honored by MAGLITE with its Maglite-Tough Civilian Hero Award

Andrew Grinsfelder built a DIY generator and pump system that drew water from the family swimming pool to save house from destruction in the firestorm

ONTARIO, Calif., March 5, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — With flames bearing down on their home from the catastrophic Palisades fire, Andrew Grinsfelder found no water coming to their house to save it from destruction. So, the Eagle-Scout used a generator and pump, attached a hose, and pumped water from the family swimming pool. He then got onto the roof and used the system he had just created to save the house by keeping the roof wet with the pool water. But his heroics did not end there. Disregarding his safety, he and his mother went through their neighborhood to assist others. For these acts, he has been recognized with the Maglite-Tough Civilian Hero Award.

MAGLITE

Maglite created this award to honor civilians who perform extraordinarily in challenging and even dire circumstances. It also reflects the values of toughness and reliability that underlie our products and the people who use them. The award’s first recipient was Gary Fishbone, who saved many people’s lives by leading them out of the World Trade Center Basement on 9/11 using a mini Maglite. Another Los Angeles teen honored was Hailey Morinico, who fought off a Momma Bear and her cubs menacing her dog in her Bradbury home in the San Gabriel Mountains of Los Angeles County.

“What Andrew did was extraordinarily brave and ingenious,” said Tony Maglica, Founder of Maglite. “We are happy to honor him, and I am sure this young man has a very bright future ahead of him.”

Andrew’s family has a long history with Maglites. “We’ve always had Maglite flashlights in our family as long as I can remember,” said Andrew. “They are very reliable, just about indestructible, so they are a great product for preparedness because bad things just don’t happen in daylight. We also appreciate that they are manufactured here in the USA so we can feel good about buying them and supporting American workers.”

Gerald Mackrell Explores Life’s Ultimate Questions in New Book ‘Know, Trust, Abandon’

TORONTO, Ontario, Canada, Jan. 27, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Gerald Mackrell, a lifelong seeker of spiritual truth, invites readers on a deeply personal journey of faith, reflection, and exploration in his latest book, “Know, Trust, Abandon” (ISBN: 978-1779623188).

Book: KNOW, TRUST, ABANDON by Gerald Mackrell
Image caption: “Know, Trust, Abandon” by Gerald Mackrell.

Mackrell’s thought-provoking work delves into humanity’s perennial question: “Is there any meaning to life, or am I merely part of an elaborate accident that occurred millions of years ago?” While science offers a plausible framework with theories like the Big Bang, Mackrell probes deeper, addressing the spiritual dimensions that science often leaves untouched.

With the curiosity of an aging Christian and the reflective wisdom of years, he examines lingering doubts and faith teachings to uncover profound insights into life’s physical and spiritual realms.

A machine tool fitter by trade, Mackrell spent much of his life working in the steel industry. After retiring, he turned to writing as a form of personal exploration and expression. His debut book, published in 2008, marked the beginning of a literary journey that continued with contributions to his church bulletin. Now, with “Know, Trust, Abandon,” Mackrell shares his deeply personal reflections and discoveries with a broader audience.

In “Know, Trust, Abandon,” Mackrell offers readers a heartfelt narrative that combines philosophical inquiry with Christian teachings. His honest and approachable style encourages readers to contemplate their beliefs and the mysteries of existence. From reflecting on the past to navigating the complexities of faith, this book provides a unique perspective for those seeking deeper meaning.

Through reflections, Mackrell wrestles with the contrast between the scientific explanation of life and the spiritual. He examines the wonder of the cosmos, the precision of life-sustaining conditions on Earth, and humanity’s unique intellectual and creative abilities. He invites readers to ponder the origins of life and the possible purpose behind existence, weaving these reflections into a compelling narrative of faith and curiosity.

“Know, Trust, Abandon” is now out through Tellwell Publishing and available through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Indigo and more.

Woman, 49, Unveils Bold Holistic Blueprint for How She Plans on Becoming a Verified Guinness World Record Holder in Longevity

TORONTO, Ontario, Jan. 13, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — At 49, “Smile,” affectionately known online as “The Smile Enthusiast,” unveils her groundbreaking longevity textbook, “#FUTURECENTURIONLIFE, My Longevity Lifestyle” (ISBN: 978-0228889540; released by Tellwell Publishing in November 2024). This inspiring work outlines her bold, holistic approach and detailed blueprint for achieving extraordinary health and longevity.

#FUTURECENTURIONLIFE, My Longevity Lifestyle
Image caption: Cover, “#FUTURECENTURIONLIFE, My Longevity Lifestyle.”

With a vision extending to the year 2097 (and beyond), Smile is on a mission to live a life rooted in grassroots traditions—embracing the practices of our ancestors from over 150 years ago, before the advent of supplements, pharmaceuticals, or biohacking technologies. By living intentionally, mindfully, and healthfully, she aims to prove that a lifestyle built on natural, time-honored principles can lead her to claim the Guinness World Record for (verified) Oldest Person Ever.

Drawing on a decade of self-study in plant medicine and her personal journey of overcoming chronic illness, addiction, and other hardships, Smile shares the holistic tools and herbal recipes she used to reverse a lifetime of chronic symptoms without pharmaceuticals and without a supplement-heavy approach. She details the nutrients she believes are key to her longevity goals and provides readers with numerous plant food sources where these nutrients can be found. Smile also offers insight into how she rewired her brain to ensure that stress no longer becomes a burden that hinders her daily life. This textbook includes countless recipes for the foods and drinks she consumes, her fasting practices, kitchen tips, and her zero-waste strategies—including repurposing juice pulp into Herbal Hot Toddies (holistic healing beverages)—and SO MUCH MORE!

Readers will learn techniques for growing sprouts and microgreens, which Smile calls her “secret weapon” for maintaining a healthy digestive system. Additionally, with the support of her co-author, Jenny Diehl, BCHN, this textbook introduces the revolutionary Platinum Standard Guide to Ingredients. This guide highlights over 3,000 ingredients, many of which are found in so-called “organic” products we use on and in our bodies, as well as in our homes. It challenges blind trust in regulatory agencies, which can sometimes mislead the public due to undue influence from large corporations with vested interests.

WHAT IS #FUTURECENTURIONLIFE?

Rejecting the fragile connotations of “centenarian,” Smile embraces the term “centurion,” symbolizing leadership, resilience, and stamina. With a focus on whole plant foods, unadulterated medicinal herbs, and her unique “keys to longevity,” Smile offers a roadmap to living joyfully and vibrantly.

New Historical Fiction Novel Delves Into the Brutality of Impressment in 18th and 19th Century England

TORONTO, Ontario, Dec. 10, 2024 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Independent author W Blair Doman releases a gripping historical fiction novel, “Pressed: Recruitment by Force” (ISBN: 978-0228815914), released by Tellwell Publishing. The book sheds light on the lives disrupted by England’s practice of impressment – the forced recruitment of men and boys for naval service – during the 1700s and 1800s. This novel offers a poignant look at the human cost of war and the plight of those who endured it unwillingly.

BOOK: PRESSED by W Blair Doman
Image caption: Cover, “Pressed: Recruitment by Force.”

For over a century, England manned its warships by forcibly impressing common men, often from impoverished areas, and sending them to sea under brutal conditions. “Pressed: Recruitment by Force” captures the harsh reality faced by two families whose lives were upended by the press gangs – roving groups authorized by the king to seize civilians for naval service. Doman weaves a narrative of hardship, loss, and survival, depicting the intertwined fates of Mona Froud and Maria Duncan, two women left behind to navigate life without their loved ones.

“When I began writing, I wanted to tell the story of the common people who had no choice in the matter,” said W Blair Doman. “The book highlights the struggles of those taken against their will, with no concern for the families they left behind. It’s a story of resilience in the face of government-sanctioned injustice.”

A STORY OF LOSS, LOVE, AND ENDURANCE

In the novel, readers follow Mona, whose husband, Ned, was taken by the press gangs, leaving her to raise their children alone. Fifteen years later, she still does not know if he is alive or dead. Meanwhile, young lovers Maria Duncan and Will Ryketts see their future shattered when Will is taken during a tavern raid. Their stories intersect as the two women struggle to survive and protect their families while hoping for a reunion that may never come.

An excerpt from “Pressed: Recruitment by Force” provides a glimpse into the world of 1819 England, where love and hope are overshadowed by the realities of a nation at war. The narrative captures the emotional turmoil of the characters as they navigate life without certainty or support.

W Blair Doman embarked on the path of self-publishing with the encouragement of friends and family who believed in the importance of the story. The author credits their support as the driving force behind bringing the book to print.

“I was encouraged to pursue self-publishing by those closest to me,” Doman added. “Their belief in the story and the message it carries inspired me to share it with a broader audience.”

W Blair Doman brings history to life with a passion for storytelling that reflects on the human experience. “Pressed: Recruitment by Force” marks a significant step in sharing lesser-known historical realities through a deeply personal narrative lens. With a dedication to accuracy and emotional depth, Doman aims to provide a voice to those who endured forced recruitment and the families who suffered in silence.

“Pressed: Recruitment by Force” is available now in paperback and eBook formats on major online platforms.

Groundbreaking Verde Group White Paper Exposes Why CX Investments Often Fail

TORONTO, Canada /ScoopCloud/ -- The Verde Group, a leader in customer experience insights, is proud to announce the release of its latest white paper, "The Great CX Challenge: Linking Customer Experience Insights to Business Outcomes," authored by Executive V.P., Dennis Armbruster. This comprehensive study addresses the critical disconnect between significant investments in customer experience (CX) solutions and the resulting business outcomes.

As the customer experience industry continues to grow at a robust pace - projected to reach $120 billion by 2026 according to Yahoo Finance - the need for effective and actionable CX insights has never been more pressing. Despite the surge in investment and priority given by executive leadership, many organizations are facing persistent frustration and sub-optimal results.

KEY FINDINGS FROM THE WHITE PAPER:

The Disconnect: While 80% of businesses prioritize improving their CX, only 6% have seen a significant increase in performance, and over half of customers report a decline in service quality over the past year.

Legacy Methods Falling Short: Traditional CX research methods and beacon metrics often fail to correlate directly with changes in customer behaviors and financial performance, leading to organizational leadership dismissing the value of CX insights.

The E-A-B Model: The Verde Group introduces the E-A-B (Experiences, Attitude, Behavior) model as a solution to traditional CX measurement pitfalls. By focusing on customer experiences rather than attitudes, businesses can better understand the financial impact specific CX friction points have on customer behavior.

Revenue@Risk® Analysis: The white paper highlights the patent-pending Revenue@Risk® methodology, an advanced analytical approach developed by the Verde Group that links CX friction points directly to customer behaviors and financial opportunity. It also produces a new and financially correlated beacon metric that has proven to align with changes in business financials.

Dennis Armbruster, author of the white paper, stated: "The key to transforming customer experience insights into actionable business results lies in moving beyond outdated measurement methods. By focusing on the specific experiences that drive negative market action and financial risk, businesses can elevate the value of their CX insights in driving topline growth and profitability."

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

Investment Gaps: Many companies are not fully utilizing CX insights to guide strategic decisions, often due to a lack of connection between insights and financial performance.

New Methodologies: The E-A-B model and Revenue@Risk® methodology offer a more precise approach to understanding and addressing CX issues.

Strategic Impact: Leveraging advanced metrics can help businesses not only drive positive shifts in customer behavior but also meaningful financial growth.

The white paper underscores the necessity for businesses to reassess their CX measurement strategies and adopt more effective approaches to achieve tangible improvements in their businesses.

Scientology Volunteer Ministers Continental Cavalcade Reaches Out With Help at the Canadian National Exhibition

TORONTO, Canada /ScoopCloud/ -- The 75th anniversary of the Canadian Air Show at the Canadian National Exhibition was a perfect opportunity to showcase the humanitarian activities of the Scientology Volunteer Ministers. Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard, who developed the Volunteer Ministers program, was himself a pioneer at the dawn of American aviation, known as "Flash Hubbard" for his aerial achievements.

Distinguished Toastmaster and community activist Azhar Khan carried the metaphor forward by comparing the Volunteer Ministers program to the stunning aerial display: Just as these jets break the sound barrier, Volunteer Ministers break the barriers to a happy, successful life, he said.

Uche Okugo, founder and president of the Network of Nigerians in Canada and member of the Brampton Mayor's Black Advisory Council, spoke of his partnership with the Volunteer Ministers. He explained that by using the tools of the Scientology Volunteer Ministers, he has been able to greatly expand his help to orient immigrants and assist them to succeed, often under difficult circumstances, in their new country.

"Life can be very challenging," said Scientology Volunteer Ministers spokesperson Cyndie Clourie. "Many of us experience ups and downs as we navigate toward prosperity and happiness. But unlike the supersonic jet pilot, who is trained to perfection in his craft, we frequently find ourselves in the cockpit of life without a manual or map, trying to avoid the downdrafts and struggling to keep ourselves from heading into a nosedive. Scientology Volunteer Ministers provide tools for life that put you in control in the pilot's seat."

These life skills include the technology of study to help people learn skills so they can achieve their full potential. They help increase their ability to deal with turbulent circumstances. Using these tools, people can discover the underlying cause of quarrels and conflicts and resolve them.

Visitors also learned of the disaster relief work done internationally by Scientology Volunteer Ministers. Guests were invited to attend seminars at the pavilion or to log onto the Volunteer Ministers website to enroll on free online Scientology Tools for Life courses.

Whether it's helping a neighbor or friend with a personal or family difficulty or answering the call of a nation on the other side of the world after a tragic disaster, the motto of the Volunteer Minister is "Something Can Be Done About It."

Empowering Youth and Adults with the Truth About Drugs

CITY OF MARKHAM, Ontario /ScoopCloud/ -- Each summer, thousands of visitors pour into the City of Markham, Ontario, for the Taste of Asia Festival. The vibrant event features performances, art, crafts and food representing dozens of nations from China to Japan and India to Indonesia-each unique and special. And every year since 2004, the Toronto chapter of Foundation for a Drug-Free World has reached out at the festival with its drug education and prevention campaign. Drug-Free World volunteers distribute the Foundation's acclaimed Truth About Drugs booklets, encouraging young and old to sign a pledge to live drug-free and to help families and friends make the same commitment.

As always, this year's festival was a dynamic tapestry of the best of Asian food and culture. But it played out against the stark reality of a serious threat to the lives and happiness of festival-goers from across the province. Ontario is in the midst of a drug overdose crisis. According to Drug-Free World volunteers, prevention has never been more important. City of Markham Mayor Frank Scarpitti agreed. He presented a proclamation to Foundation for a Drug-Free World volunteers, marking the city's adoption of the UN International Day Against Drug Abuse, whose motto for 2024 is The Evidence is Clear: Invest in Prevention.

"Drug abuse is very serious," said Melanie Dickson-Smith, who heads the Toronto chapter of Foundation for a Drug-Free World which is supported by the Church of Scientology Toronto. "Now more than ever, youth need to be informed of the short- and long-term effects of drugs. We are very gratified to have the support of Mayor Scarpitti and Markham City Council in raising awareness of this issue."

Foundation for a Drug-Free World is a Los Angeles-based nonprofit with consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council. Thanks to the support of Churches of Scientology and Scientologists, the Foundation makes its acclaimed secular drug education and prevention materials and programs available free of charge.

For decades, Scientologists have engaged in drug education and prevention in their communities, inspired by humanitarian and Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard, who wrote, "Research has demonstrated that the single most destructive element present in our current culture is drugs."

MAGLITE, The Pedestrian Safety Institute, Additional Partners to Promote Traffic and Pedestrian Safety During 2024 National Roadside Traffic Safety Awareness Month

ONTARIO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Maglite® brand partners with the Pedestrian Safety Institute (PSI) to support traffic and pedestrian safety during one of the deadliest times of the year, the first week in July. The days surrounding July 4th are particularly dangerous and are routinely referred to as the deadliest driving days of the year and pedestrian deaths make up approximately 20% of those fatalities.

The 3,373 people killed in the first half of 2023 as reported by the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA) is on pace to make it the deadliest year ever - surpassing the record in 2022 and increasing the nearly 60% overall growth in pedestrian fatalities in the last decade.

National Roadside Traffic Safety Awareness Month

There has been an alarming increase in the number of pedestrians killed in the months of October November and December. These are the months when it starts to get darker earlier and stay dark longer and studies show darkness and low visibility play a significant role in pedestrian deaths. In fact, more than 70 percent of fatalities happen in low-light conditions, particularly at night. In addition to the Pedestrian Safety Institute, Maglite is proud to have the American Paramedic Association, Citizens Behind the Badge, the U.S. Deputy Sheriffs Association, the lead economist of the Drucker School, Jay Prag, America's Criminologist Dr. Currie Myers, and legal scholar John Tulac joining in this mission to illuminate the dangers facing pedestrians and solutions.

National Roadside Traffic Safety Awareness Month was created by the Pedestrian Safety Institute with the goal of educating and urging drivers to use caution while driving during this time of year.

"There are simple ways to reduce the number of pedestrian deaths due to pedestrian traffic accidents - pedestrians should carry a bright flashlight, wear reflective clothing and be cautious, especially around fast-moving traffic," said Tony Maglica, founder and CEO of Mag Instrument, Inc., manufacturer of the Maglite® Flashlight.

Youth for Human Rights Petitions the Ontario Legislative Assembly To Require Human Rights Education Throughout the Province

TORONTO, Ontario /ScoopCloud/ -- "Despite Canada's public image as a human rights promoter," Nicole Crellin realized, "there were human rights violations hidden under the social veneer." That's why she took on being the director of United for Human Rights Canada. Crellin, who is featured in an episode of Voices for Humanity that premieres on the Scientology Network Wednesday, June 5, says, "As a teacher, I saw that human rights education was the only weapon that one could use to really raise awareness. Only in that way can we have a society where there's peace and tolerance that exists for everyone."

Crellin led a delegation in May to present a petition to the Ontario Legislative Assembly. The volunteers, members of Youth for Human Rights, the United for Human Rights program for young people, had collected thousands of signatures on a petition calling for mandatory human rights education throughout the province.

The Association for Canadian Studies released a survey in December 2023, coinciding with the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The survey found only 32 percent of respondents ages 18 to 34 agreed with the statement: "Everyone is born with an equal opportunity to succeed in Canada."

According to Human Rights Watch, among the most pressing violations of human rights in Canada are:

* Systemic discrimination against Indigenous peoples

* Violence against Indigenous women

* Mistreatment and detention of those seeking refugee protection in Canada

* Failure to exercise meaningful oversight of Canadian extractive companies operating abroad

To this, another online resource serving professions in the human rights sector adds:

* Religious freedom and tolerance, citing the Supreme Court of Canada's refusal to review Quebec's controversial Bill 21 that bans civil servants, teachers and police officers in Quebec from wearing religious symbols when providing or receiving government services.

For more than a decade, Crellin has spearheaded the campaign to educate millions across the nation using educational materials produced by United for Human Rights. United for Human Rights is a nonprofit, international education program sponsored by the Church of Scientology and Scientologists worldwide. Its aim is to create a sea change by teaching young people everywhere their inalienable rights, thus creating a generation of leaders who will demand full implementation of the 30 articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

United for Human Rights is inspired by humanitarian and Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard who believed that "human rights must be made a fact, not an idealistic dream."

Seminar Introduces Those New to the Scientology Tools for Life to the Practical Use of This Technology for Improving Daily Life and Relationships

CAMBRIDGE, Ontario /ScoopCloud/ -- "I really liked the aura and environment of today's event," said one woman who attended the Interfaith Harmony Week event at the Church of Scientology Cambridge. "I learned new skills of effective communication and I will use what I learned for my personal development."

The event, organized by the Cambridge Church and the Canadian Volunteer Ministers Continental Cavalcade, included the screening of the new feature-length documentary Operation: Do Something About It on the global response to the pandemic of the Church of Scientology.

"I was supposed to leave early," the woman went on to say, "but I was glued to the screen with my cousin watching the documentary."

"What I liked most was that the seminar was really interactive," said another. Along with the other guests, she practiced these tools with members of the audience, and she found she was more comfortable about striking up new acquaintances and friendships because of what she learned.

"I enjoyed putting what I learned into practice," said a third participant who has been coping with feeling anxious in social situations. These new skills had immediate application to what she was trying to deal with. "That was my favorite part," she said.

Those attending found the film inspiring. Most said they were particularly moved by the Volunteer Ministers reaching out to other faith communities, making their help broadly available. They were surprised to learn that the Scientology Tools for Life, the technology for the training of the Volunteer Minister, is available free of charge online and that anyone may take the courses and become a Volunteer Minister.

"I'm an enthusiast who loves seeking knowledge and developing myself and my environment," said another guest, who was introduced to the program by the seminar. He wants to help further the program through interfaith partnerships and decided to take the online courses so he can participate in future Volunteer Minister disaster response activities.

The Scientology Volunteer Ministers program is a religious social service, developed in 1973 by Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard, who wrote: "If one does not like the crime, cruelty, injustice and violence of this society, he can do something about it. He can become a Volunteer Minister and help civilize it, bring it conscience and kindness and love and freedom from travail by instilling into it trust, decency, honesty and tolerance."

Their motto is no matter the circumstances, "Something can be done about it."

Operation: Do Something About It is available on the Scientology Network on DIRECTV Channel 320, DIRECTV STREAM, AT&T U-verse, at Scientology.tv, on mobile apps and via the Roku, Amazon Fire and Apple TV platforms. Since launching with an introduction by Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige in March 2018, the Scientology Network has been viewed in 237 countries and territories in 17 languages.

Empire Strykers of the Major Arena Soccer League Sign Marco Fabian, International Soccer Star and Gold Medalist with Mexican National Team

ONTARIO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Empire Strykers of the Major Arena Soccer League (MASL), have announced the signing of former Mexican International Marco Fabian to a two-year contract. The monetary terms of the deal were not disclosed as per policy of the MASL. The contract is a landmark deal in the MASL, North America's premier indoor soccer league, now playing in their 10th anniversary season.

What makes the deal a first of its kind is that as part of the deal, Fabian has the right to own and operate a team in the league once his two-year deal with Empire expires. Fabian has had a storied career from Chivas of Guadalajara to the Philadelphia Union of Major League Soccer, along with stops in the first division in Germany, Qatar, and Andorra.

The skilled midfielder has been capped 43 times by Mexico, playing in the 2014 and 2018 World Cups. Fabian scored 5 goals in the 2012 Olympics, helping to lead Mexico to the Gold Medal. He is currently finishing up with his club team, Santa Coloma in Andorra. Fabian is expected to train with his new team shortly and be available to play in the team's home opener, Friday, December 15th vs the Baltimore Blast at the Toyota Arena in Ontario, California.

"The Empire Region is maturing in its stature as a leading economic driver in Southern California and deserves to have an asset like The Strykers that reflects that reality. Our goal as an organization is nothing short of winning championships and I look forward to bringing the first major league sport national championship to the Empire Region soon, so the area gets the due that it deserves," said Jeff Burum, owner of the Strykers. "Obviously adding a player of this caliber like Marco, who had success at so many levels, winning Olympic Gold, and excelling in the Mexican Football League, Bundesliga, Gold Cup, World Cup, and major league soccer to the team will make a significant impact and help us become the best team in this league."

As for his play, ESPN in a bio-piece described him this way, "His balance and poise on the ball is impeccable ... Equally adept on either foot, he can play on either wing or as an attacking midfielder and breezes past defenders as if they are not there. Fabián also has that knack of scoring spectacular goals that help win fans over."

"I am excited to once again play soccer in the United States at the professional level and I am looking forward to the unique challenges and opportunities that the indoor game offers," said Fabián. "My athleticism and aggressive attacking style of play will be an asset that I believe will make me very successful for the Strykers and I am going to make the Empire Region, that Jeff Burum has told me so much about, proud."

Not only a star on the field and now in the arena, but he is also an asset to his greater community. Fabián helped fund a football academy in Guadalajara, Mexico. It provides football coaching, and nutritional and psychological advice to participants under the direct supervision of Fabián himself. One graduate of the program reportedly signed with Brazilian club Santos FC in 2016.

About Major Arena Soccer League:

The Major Arena Soccer League represents the highest level of professional indoor soccer in the world. The MASL features teams across North America, with teams playing coast-to-coast in the United States and Mexico, and players from over 15 countries. The MASL is currently incorporated as a 501(c)6 not for profit corporation formed to promote the business and sport of indoor soccer. For more information visit https://www.maslsoccer.com/.
